OZ Arts Nashville hosts its Second Annual “Conversations at OZ” Wednesday, February 8, 2017. This already-beloved fundraiser will benefit OZ Arts Nashville. Well-known and intriguing community leaders and vibrant personalities from across the city will once again converge at OZ Arts, bringing their passions and ideas to the table for a night of lively, open, and insightful candid conversation. Cocktails are at 6pm and Dinner & Conversation is at 7pm.
Having attended the first event last year and looking forward enthusiastically to attending this year’s event, I can attest that the food, the drink, the decor, the entertainment, the company, and the conversations are all top-notch, as is the unique environment of the iconic OZ Arts facility.
Only six seats are available for each table, so reserve your seat today before the table of your choice sells out. Tickets are $250/person. Here’s a look at the conversationalists and the topics they have selected.
