Katie Shaw and Ashley Layendecker: Curating Nashville’s Visual Arts Future

Red Arrow Gallery occupies a relatively small space in East Nashville. Yet it exerts a disproportionately large influence on Music City’s visual arts scene. That’s because Red Arrow’s Gallerist Katie Shaw and Director Ashley Layendecker run their establishment like an elite music agency. They represent a small roster of artists and lavish them with attention. Not surprisingly, these artists are flourishing, attracting attention far beyond the geographical limits of Nashville. In this episode of MACC Talk, Katie and Ashley join host John Pitcher to discuss Red Arrow’s unique approach to representing artists. They also talk about their current group exhibit titled In Our Place, which complements an even larger exhibition at the Frist Art Museum. The episode is sponsored by Nashville Interiors Magazine.
