Founded by a group of Middle Tennessee artists in 1954, and later chartered as a 501©(3) nonprofit educational institution, the Tennessee Art League has enriched the lives of thousands of artists and the community as a cultural center, educational facility and art gallery for over fifty years. In 1965, the league started the annual Central South Art Exhibition (one of the oldest art competitions in the South). In 2005, TAL moved to its present home at 808 Broadway, in the heart of the historical and cultural corridor of Nashville. This new home provides more gallery, workshop, and classroom space, as well as a gallery store. Currently the TAL provides exhibition and meeting space to schools and community groups, as well as an exhibiting outlet for at-risk groups.

The Tennessee Art League is located at 808 Broadway, and is open Tuesday through Saturday.
