This new Tennessee Crossroads special takes a look at the upcoming "Art of Tennessee" exhibit, housed at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts and the Tennessee State Museum. For seven years, a pair of guest curators and others pursued the mission of collecting 270 objects of visual art - created for, by, or about the state of Tennessee. In this special, you'll meet the passionate collector-curators, share their experiences, discover many of the fascinating objects they chose and – best of all – glimpse into the lives of some of the talented artists who created works that reflect the rich cultural heritage of our state.
