General Admission: $16 | Belcourt Members: $13
In conjunction with the new epic film THE BRUTALIST, the Belcourt presents a seminar spotlighting Brutalist buildings around Nashville. Led by architect Kem Hinton, this one-hour presentation will provide background on the divisive, frequently misunderstood architectural movement and feature slides from notable Brutalist buildings you might drive past every day. You’ll leave the seminar with locations for your own architecture tour and a new appreciation of the minimalist architectural style.
This seminar will be held in the 1966 Hall.
