By Andy King, MS and HS Art Teacher
At 4 p.m. Thursday, August 29, University School of Nashville's Arts Department will welcome its first artist of the year into the Tibbott Gallery. Michael Mucker is a Nashville legend. Mucker has been working for decades in the community as a painter, muralist, tattoo artist, community organizer, and youth volunteer. A pioneer of the North Nashville art scene, Mucker is exhibiting his "The Unrefined Collection" in the Tibbott Gallery. He has been building this body of work for over a decade, so it is an honor to be the first to exhibit these works as a collection. Inspired by his youth mentorship roles, his works feature many art forms, including children's reading books. The exhibit will be on display through Friday, September 27.
Congratulations to National Merit commended students Devon Brown, Juno Callen, Penelope Graham, Stewart Hall, Erin Joyce, Ellie Klein, Stella Liebeskind, Lilly Martin, Joshua Muellenbach, and Amelie Soslow. They join 11 other seniors previously recognized as Semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corp.
During Fall Book Frenzy, USN's annual used book and media sale, outstanding volunteers created an exciting and fun opportunity to connect the school and the greater Nashville community with thousands of books. Click here to see photos.
