The Frist Center for the Arts is great. They're getting some really excellent showings in for such a new facility. They also always have several showings in from less famous, but no less brilliant, artists with some truly interesting work. Their gift shop is terrific and loaded with neat items, especially tons of books on artwork and artists. It can be terribly crowded on Frist Fridays- I highly recommend the Fridays if you want to socialize, but if you like to take your time looking at the exhibits, I suggest coming friday night for the fun and a different time for the exhibits.
