Speaker Series: November Session
About this Event
The AIA Middle Tennessee Speaker Series is our chapter’s signature lecture program, held at the Frist Art Museum. Each session features a distinguished architect or design professional — sometimes from Nashville, sometimes from across the country or around the world — who brings fresh perspectives and expertise to our community.
These events serve as our local chapter meetings, offering members the chance to connect with one another, hear thought-provoking talks, and engage in conversations about the future of architecture and design in Middle Tennessee.
