OUR MISSION

THE FORGE NASHVILLE provides artists and makers a pathway and place to pursue their craft in community.

Welcoming beginners to entrepreneurs, woodworkers to welders, students to seniors, the forge changes lives.

Founded in 2012, The Forge Nashville is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit centered on collaboration, education, and community. We provide artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs with access to a vibrant makerspace, professional wood and metal shops, studios, offices, and an art gallery. We support creatives of all mediums through affordable memberships, classes, scholarships and events. At The Forge, creativity is a shared resource and everyone is welcome.
