Official WebsiteThe Tennessee Performing Arts Center is a new 307,000-square-foot cultural campus planned for Nashville's East Bank along the Cumberland River, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) with William Rawn Associates and Hastings Architecture. The building gathers four distinct performance venues — a grand Broadway hall, a dedicated dance and opera theater, a flexible black-box space and an intimate cabaret — beneath a reflective facade of aluminum tubes whose arches lift like a theater curtain to reveal the activity within. Conceived as the cultural anchor of Nashville's East Bank redevelopment near Nissan Stadium, the riverfront campus replaces TPAC's longtime downtown home and is funded through a public-private partnership.
