Explore the creative spaces of Make Nashville

Having access to all the tools to make things is great, but I think my favorite part of Make Nashville is the people there. Being around creatives, having deep conversations, and learning from/sharing with all the folks there really makes for some great experiences!

Make Nashville is a hub for sharing knowledge, swapping ideas, volunteering time, and building a creative environment. Our Slack community keeps conversation going 24/7 and in-person events liven up our connections.
