The Volume 44 Issue Release Party at Beam Gallery in Green Hills was a warm, celebratory evening that perfectly captured the spirit of Nashville’s creative community. Friends, collaborators, and longtime supporters gathered with an easy familiarity, greeting one another with hugs and laughter as conversations flowed effortlessly from room to room. The energy felt intimate yet vibrant—people lingering, reconnecting, and sharing stories sparked by the pages of the new issue and the people who helped bring it to life.
Guests enjoyed delicious bites and beautifully crafted cocktails while surrounded by the striking artwork of Stacey Beam, whose work set an inspired, welcoming tone for the night. The gallery itself felt alive, with art, conversation, and celebration woven together seamlessly. It was one of those evenings where time seemed to slow just enough to savor every detail—the glow of the space, the clink of glasses, and the shared appreciation for creativity, community, and a publication worth celebrating.
