Scarritt Bennett Center proudly presents “Roots,” a photography exhibition curated by the SNAP (Society of Nashville Artistic Photographers) collective.
Explore the Depth of “Roots” at Scarritt Bennett Center’s Laskey Gallery
This exhibit explores the profound and multifaceted theme of roots—both in nature and in our personal, cultural, and emotional landscapes.
Join us as we showcase a stunning collection of images that delve into the beauty of trees, forests, and gardens, while also reflecting on history, heritage, and the things that ground us. Whether through symbolism or raw visual storytelling, these works invite you to connect with the deep and often unseen forces that shape our lives.
Exhibition Dates: May & June 2025
Location: Laskey Art Gallery, Scarritt Bennett Center
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 8, 4-6 PM

Prophetic Justice
Poet Mary Oliver once said, "attention is the beginning of devotion." At Scarritt Bennett Center, we promote creative expressions of the inner self as critical to spiritual practice and communal formation. Since its inception, Laskey Gallery at Scarritt Bennett Center has hosted artists whose crafts and voices demonstrate and reaffirm our commitment to creating a more just world.
The artists we showcase bear witness. They invite us to examine the parts of ourselves we overlook or purposely ignore; to take in the world as it really is; to imagine what could be or could have been; to reflect on difficult seasons and painful truths; to be honest about the stories we tell, the histories we affirm, and the voices we silence; to transform, to hope.
At Scarritt Bennett Center, we work to realize a just society and promote activism on behalf of all those who live with injustice.
Few point the way like the artist.
Exhibits in Laskey Gallery are always free and open to the public.
