Poston Gallery - $100 Art Show. For the past 50 years, TAL has worked to maintain a presence for artists of any level of experience in the Nashville area. We have many talented members who believe that art truly enhances lives and the quality of life in our city. They are passionate about continuing the good work of the Tennessee Art League and are willing to make sacrifices to do so. Our members are donating very high quality and valuable works of art to be sold to the public for $100 apiece in order to continue the mission of the Tennessee Art League. Each work will be of more value than its 'sticker price' reflects and in many instances the artist will be well known to discerning members of the community.
