OZ Arts Nashville’s popular fall fundraiser invites guests to enjoy top-shelf sips, delicious food, tempting auctions, and more. All proceeds support OZ Arts’ mission to create innovative and accessible artistic opportunities for artists, audiences, and students in Middle Tennessee.
Partygoers will discover more than 30 high-end spirits, cocktails, wines, and beers alongside delicious food by local favorite Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint. In a nod to the facility’s history as a converted cigar warehouse, guests can also sample products by Ozgener Family Cigars and Crowned Heads in the venue’s beautiful gardens.
The silent auction is open online now and will end at 9:30PM on Wednesday, September 25. A live auction will take place during the festive evening.
