August 7, 2008 · 4 Comments

…is a celebrated neighborhood festival in East Nashville, TN.
It started as a theme for an art show five years ago and this year’s festival will be held this weekend on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 8 and 9.

For the festival I devised a commemorative –Tomato Art Fest– “e-Stamp” that will be premiering tomorrow Friday. It will be available for purchase at Z’s Deli where the “Web–eStamp EXPO” is still showing. Or at the “Art and Invention Gallery” and also here.
