CASS Contemporary is proud to present Paint It Forward Vol. 3, the third installment of our signature exhibition celebrating community, mentorship, and the spirit of giving back.

Inspired by the concept of “paying it forward”, this exhibition is rooted in the belief that art thrives through connection, generosity, and shared opportunity. Curated by Artistic Director Jake Greatens, this year’s showcase brings together 22 artists from diverse backgrounds. 11 established artists, each selecting an emerging artist to exhibit alongside them. The result is a powerful and intentional pairing that bridges experience with fresh perspective, honoring both artistic legacy and the next generation of creative voices. Paint It Forward Vol. 3 features artists represented from Nashville, across the United States, and internationally, creating a dynamic and globally influenced exhibition united under one purpose: community. This year’s event is also tied to a charitable initiative, with a portion of the evening’s proceeds benefiting a designated charity, further reinforcing the exhibition’s mission of giving back beyond the gallery walls.

See you then, Nashville!
