East Nashville to get community arts school

The owner of the historic Russell Street Church of Christ in East Nashville has leased the church to three partners who plan to open the East Nashville Center for the Creative Arts, a community school of the arts for children on the east side. The building is owned by March Egerton.

Chris Donohue, Matt Slocum and Andrew Krichels met Monday with East Nashville school principals, residents of Historic Edgefield and members of the Nashville Symphony and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra to explain plans for the community school and to get feedback.
