Multipurpose Space in Nashville

Founded in 2012, The Forge is a nonprofit organization housed in a 23,000-square-foot facility just five miles from downtown Nashville. We are a multi-use creative hub featuring an expansive makerspace, fully equipped wood and metal shops, and an art gallery dedicated to serving Nashville’s artisan and creative community. Our newly updated Event Space—with the option to include the Kitchen, Gallery, and Atrium—is thoughtfully equipped to support a wide range of gatherings. Over the years, we’ve hosted everything from workshops, meetings, rehearsals, and theater productions to weddings, comedy shows, book and album launches, corporate events, and both public and private celebrations. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to the greater community. The Forge offers not only a wealth of resources for aspiring creatives, but also meaningful opportunities for underserved artists and makers. Ideal for creative curators and event organizers seeking something truly distinctive, rentals at The Forge directly support our nonprofit mission and reinvest in the local arts community—while giving you access to an unforgettable venue. The building itself is unique, edgy, and vibrant, filled with local art throughout. Its sprawling urban-loft feel, warm lighting, and bold décor create an atmosphere that feels both cozy and unexpected—like a hidden gem just minutes from downtown Nashville.
