Art Trunks are mobile educational kits designed to enrich the appreciation and understanding of present and past art exhibitions at the Frist Center. The Art Trunk Program provides unique opportunities for participants to become more informed about works of art, their meanings, and the artists who created them. Each trunk has a theme and includes reproductions of artwork from specific exhibitions and guided lesson plans for three activity sessions.

*Current art trunks are only available to our community partners located within Davidson County. The Art Trunk Program also provides art trunk training for the staff of our community partners, training for Frist Center intern artists and volunteers, and a transportation subsidy.
