The Greater Nashville Music Census, a survey for anyone working in the music industry, announces a week extension to its closing deadline. The Census is capturing key information about the Nashville music economy to help the city and community make informed, data-driven decisions to support our music ecosystem moving forward.

The census will now remain open through Sunday, April 1 at 11:59 pm.

“We have the highest concentration of musicians in the nation living here in greater Nashville,” said Dave Pomeroy, president of the Nashville Musicians Association. “So we’re asking each and every one of them to take the census, spread the word, and help us set the bar for all other cities moving forward.”

Let Your Voice be Heard in The Music City Census

By law, students with disabilities may stay in the public school system until age 21. But what happens to them after that? About 80% of young adults with special needs leaving high school never find employment, even those able and willing. That's where non-profit organization BrightStone comes in!

They offer lifelong learning opportunities while teaching job skills, productive work habits, social skills, computer skills, health and nutrition, physical wellness, art, daily life skills, and leisure and learning activities. All designed to help adults with special needs thrive and live their best lives! 

BrightStone is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, licensed by the state of Tennessee, yet receives no state or federal funds. That means they're depending on support from people like you!

Nashville Zoo is a family favorite in Middle Tennessee, with more than 1.2 million visitors last year! The zoological park located just 6 miles south of downtown Nashville has 188 acres, about half of which is developed. This makes Nashville Zoo the 9th largest zoo in the country by landmass!

The Zoo is one of the top tourist attractions in the state, partly because of the popularity of its Jungle Gym. The 66,000 sq. ft. Jungle Gym is the largest community built playground in the United States!

The Zoo's Mission is "To inspire a culture of understanding and discovery of our natural world through conservation, innovation and leadership."

Hear more about the Nashville Zoo's role in conservation, both locally and globally, in this interview with Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Jim Bartoo. Get more details and check out the many upcoming events for children, families, and adults-only, HERE!
