Centennial Park Conservancy

Centennial Park Conservancy's mission is to preserve, enhance and share the Parthenon and Centennial Park so that all future generations may benefit from these enriching cultural and educational landmarks.

Our Programs

Centennial Park Conservancy enriches our community by funding Parthenon exhibitions and free access to arts and educational activities in the park and Parthenon. Through the ongoing generosity of individual, corporate, and foundation partners, we underwrite and present a variety of programs, including:

THE NASHVILLE PARTHENON

We support the Parthenon by funding a curated series of relevant historical and artistic exhibits as well as lectures that encourage productive social discourse. We also support the Parthenon Docent program and Architecture Tours, while presenting the ECHO Chamber Music series and Kidsville educational programs in the museum.

MUSICIANS CORNER

Since 2010, Musicians Corner has presented over 1,500 emerging, established, and legendary artists at 150 free events in Centennial Park, with an annual attendance of over 75,000 people.

KIDSVILLE

We support families by connecting over 10,000 children annually to free and enriching opportunities for growth through education, experience, and exploration. 

NASHVILLE EARTH DAY

We present Nashville’s annual event that takes place in Centennial Park every April and brings the Nashville community together to celebrate our planet, inspire positive environmental change, and support sustainable small businesses & nonprofits.

ECHO

ECHO is an engaging music series that features new chamber music composed and arranged for the unique reverb of the Parthenon Naos and performed in front of the 42-foot statue of Athena.
