an artful, faithful life

We seek to promote the vision of a seamless life of Christian discipleship and imaginative living, with an emphasis on communicating the worth and necessity of all vocations, the promotion of people and earth care, the grateful enjoyment of life, and an honest acknowledgement of its sorrows.

Welcoming people through intentional hospitality is our daily, practical work here at Art House Nashville. We sit around the table, enjoy a home-cooked meal, and lean-in for intimate conversation with those seeking guidance and encouragement. We also host large gatherings like Artist Collective evenings, bible studies, and our pastors lunch. Our mission is cultivating creative community for the common good, and encouraging everyone, everywhere to live artful, faithful lives.

“Cultivating Creative Community for the Common Good - encouraging everyone, everywhere to live artful, faithful lives”

Founded in 1991 by Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock (Ashworth), the Art House in Nashville, Tennessee, quickly emerged as a unique artistic hub for rich hospitality, conversations of consequence, and imaginative creativity. For twenty-four years, a 100-year-old renovated country church was their home and the primary setting for their work as Founders/Executive Directors of what became Art House America, a 501(c)3 non-profit.

For over two decades, the Ashworth's hosted artists and writers, theologians, speakers and organizations, including Bono, Andy Crouch, David Dark, Mel Gibson, Amy Grant, Patricia Heaton, Steve Turner, Blood-Water Mission, International Justice Mission, The Gathering and the ONE Campaign.

In 2016, Art House Nashville welcomed new directors and hosts, Nathan and Cassie Tasker, to help Art House Nashville remain at the heart of advocacy for imaginative creativity and faithful living.

Isaiah 27:2-3 In that day - “Sing about a fruitful vineyard: I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.”
