November 1-15 – Three Artists, Three ExhibitionsThe Arts Company, 215 Fifth Ave. N. The Arts Company presents works by Brett Weaver, Joan Griswold and Chip Cooper. Brett Weaver's New Contemporary Paintings focuses on his landscapes. He used to be a traditional, representational land-scape painter but over the years he has evolved into a painter of more abstract landscapes, created in his imagination. His style has gotten looser over the years, but he paints the energy, movement, and painterly quality that he wishes us to experi-ence in his landscapes. In Joan Griswold's Intimate Interiors & Urban Landscapes, her canvases report a brief moment of activity, captured in a sym-phony of color and light. This is her first exhibit in Nashville. Chip Cooper's An Architectural Soliloquy: A Photographic Series in Black and White, is a series of digital photographs of basic contemporary architectural shapes that he manipulates on the computer, revealing them only in simple planes and shades of black and white. Hours are 11:00a.m. - 5:00p.m., Tuesday - Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, call (615) 254-2040 or see theartscompany.com.

November 1-16 – With Wings - New Works by Jeanie GoodenTinney Contemporary, 237 5th Ave N. Gooden's work is abstract and her genre is mixed media.

November 1-30 – Remarks by K.J. SchumacherGallery One, 213 3rd Ave. N. Originally a represen-tational painter influenced by Bay Area Figurative artists Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff, Schumacher changed to abstract art that hones in on the studio process and all its engaging drips, spills and smears. His works often incorporate the actual remnants of the studio process itself. Accidental and intentional marks create a literal and conceptual duality for the viewer to decipher. Hours are 10:00a.m. - 4:00p.m. Tuesday - Saturday, with additional hours of 6:00p.m. - 9:00p.m. November 2 for the downtown art crawl. Admission is free.

November 1-23 – Unique VisionsCumberland Gallery, 4107 Hillsboro Circle. Cumberland Gallery presents Unique Visions, a group show featuring Julie Blackmon, Craig Cully, Andrea Heimer, Mark Hosford, Marcus Kenney, Will Smith and Fred Stonehouse. Defining the often incongruent relationship between community and self, seven artists wade through social history and personal myth in works that range from painting to animation to photography. This eclectic mix of media is used with humor, sarcasm, and a subver-sive drive to expose humanity in all its beautiful as well as grotesque forms. The exhibit is defined by rich and varied color against swampy backgrounds, quilted suburban secrets, eerily still interior spaces, and the unsettling side of familiar childhood memo-rabilia. Hours are 11:00a.m. - 5:00p.m., Tuesday - Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, call (615) 297-0296 or see cumberlandgallerycom.
