You may have heard .... THE FORGE IS MOVING!

After years of growth, collaboration, and impact over at 217 Willow St, we’re stepping into a new home at 650 Murfreesboro Pike. This move marks a turning point for us: more space to create, more room to gather, and a powerful opportunity to build something permanent. As we prepare to leave 217 Willow St, we carry forward everything that space made possible—and invite you to help us bring that same energy, access, and care into what comes next.

What we’ve built at 217 Willow St has always been about more than a building; it’s been about people. It’s where young creatives found their voice, where small businesses took their first real steps, and where artists, veterans, seniors, and neighbors gathered to learn, make, and belong. Leaving that space is bittersweet, but it marks something powerful: growth. The Forge Nashville is stepping into a new chapter at 650 Murfreesboro Pike, one that allows us to expand our impact and deepen our commitment to the community we serve.

This buildout campaign is an invitation to help shape that future. We're looking to raise $60k in 60 days, and we need your help!

Our new space gives us a path to ownership, something rare and transformative for an organization like ours. It means stability. It means permanence. It means we can continue investing in youth education, hands-on creative training, and small business incubation without the uncertainty that so often disrupts spaces like ours. Every dollar goes directly toward building out a home that will serve as a lasting beacon for makers and artists of all kinds: a place where creativity is not just encouraged, but resourced and sustained. When you give to The Forge, you’re not just supporting a move; you’re helping secure a future for Nashville’s creative community.

No amount is too small, and EVERY cent counts - we thank you for your incredible support and look forward to building the future of Nashville with you.

BUILD THE FORGE!
