The Third Eye Carnival Nashville was a 3-day event in beautiful northern Tennessee where your favorite podcasters joined forces with the absolute realist comedians and musicians in the game. This event emphasized community and creativity, providing real-life space where fans, creators, and innovators could come together. The venue was hosted on an amazing outdoor space 30 miles north of downtown Nashville where attendees were able to set up camp for the weekend and enjoy the festivities stress free. Kicking off with music and jams, Friday closed with an independent media all-star jam. Saturday showcased the very best of un-cancellable podcasters and comedians coming together for a one-of-a-kind event. Sunday wound down with group nature outings, cowboy church, more music, and networking with likeminded freethinkers. Third Eye Nashville was next level!
The Third Eye Carnival is sponsored by the Anartist Collective, which is a loose artistic collective and creative hub of creative types across the board, including visual artists, musicians, videographers, and performers and craftsman of all stripes. The Anartist Collective provides a venue where such creators can showcase and share their talents with each other and the world. It’s tough out there for individual artists, so the Anartist Collective offers a network where they can all help each other up and out.
