A great deal of time and preparation has gone into the planning of the second annual Creatives’ Day. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, October 21, at the downtown Main Branch of the Nashville Public Library from 1-4:30 pm. Brian Sexton and his amazing team of event organizers say “there will be something for everyone.” That’s not just a clique. It’s a valid assessment.
