Join us in our mission to enrich lives through arts education and community engagement. Discover how we are making a difference in Smyrna, TN.

Each June for the last 13 years, Carpe Artista throws a big party and everyone in Smyrna is invited! We had around 10,000 folks show up this year, enjoying live music, student art galleries, food trucks, tons of vendors and an international folk dancing group.

Right next to the historic Smyrna Train Depot we hold a farmers market every Saturday during the Spring and Fall seasons. We feature live music and lots of artisan vendors and food trucks, along with the area’s freshest produce.

At Carpe Artista, we are dedicated to empowering creatives to better the world. Our mission is to provide comprehensive arts education, create Career Path Development in arts and entertainment, and foster community involvement in Smyrna, TN. Through our programs, we nurture the talents of individuals, helping them to grow as artists and as members of the community.
