Artsville Festival

05/24/2026

Artsville is about the people.

The artists creating in real time.
The performers bringing energy to downtown.
The vendors, volunteers, and local businesses showing up for the community.
The families spending the day making memories together.
The kids covered in chalk by the end of the festival.

Every part of Artsville exists because people continue to believe in creativity, connection, and building something meaningful together here in Clarksville.

As we plan for this year’s festival, we’re thankful for everyone who helps make it possible year after year!

Thank you to everyone who took a moment during the Art Gala or at the Artlink studio to contribute to our community art piece.

This project was a quiet opportunity for people to come together, reflect, and show support for Kenwood during an incredibly difficult time.

As we visited the school today to share this with them, it is impossible to imagine what these families, students, and the entire Kenwood community has been carrying the last few weeks.

There are no perfect words for loss like this, but there is something meaningful in showing up, in remembering, and in standing together.

We continue to hold the families, friends, and the Kenwood community in our thoughts and prayers.
