Nashville's Place to Learn to Master the Art of Storytelling

Grand Opening: Summer, 2025

“The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.
The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda.”

– Steve Jobs, American Entrepreneur, Co-Founder of Apple Inc.

Everyone loves a good story. Every advocate needs to tell a great story to be successful. The Bard Room is a new vision for a creative meeting space located in the heart of Nashville’s Fifth Avenue of the Arts District. Opening in Summer 2025, The Bard Room is a space for storytellers, songwriters, lawyers, executive directors, and other professionals who advocate for their causes, all to collaborate, foster, and learn the craft of storytelling.

“Success is born not from toil, but from play.”

– Francis Ford Coppola, American Film-maker

 In addition to providing Storytelling Programs for professionals, The Bard Room is also proud to support its Creative Director, Singer/Songwriter Max T. Barnes, as he and his band, the Bloody Turnips, provide entertainment for private events. Click here to contact us to book Max.
