Periscope Pitch + Artist Entrepreneur Showcase 2025

Each year, the Periscope: Artist Entrepreneur Training program culminates with the Periscope Pitch + Artist Entrepreneur Showcase. Our talented artist entrepreneurs will put their training to the test as they showcase their work and take the stage to pitch their creative businesses to the Nashville arts and business community. 

Periscope Pitch + Artist Entrepreneur Showcase highlights the business acumen, innovative spirit, and artistic prowess of local artists, makers, and entrepreneurs across an array of artistic disciplines including visual art, music, film/video, spoken word, culinary arts, literary arts, photography and more. 

The evening begins with an Artist Entrepreneur Showcase, where guests are invited to enjoy refreshments with other members of the Nashville creative and business community while connecting directly with the 2025 Periscope Artist Entrepreneurs at their showcase booths to learn about their creative business plans.

At 7 p.m. the Periscope Pitch begins with finalists pitching their creative businesses live on stage! Selected through two preliminary rounds over the summer, these artists have earned the opportunity to share their vision with the Nashville arts and business community and to win cash and prizes.

Don't miss this chance to see what's next in the Nashville Creative Community!
