Fisk University's Van Vechten Gallery is one of the best-kept secrets in near Northwest Nashville. The collection is simply an amazing, internationally renowned treasure trove. It's a damned shame that the University plans to sell Georgia O'Keeffe's Radiator Building, Night--New York. Losing an O'Keeffe masterpiece would be a huge blow to our community.
Hopefully, this announcement will prompt a few folks to let loose of a bit of their hip-hop, sports other entertainment earnings to endow the school. It's one thing to welcome the money the community sends your way and another to return to the community something more valuable than a billboard rank or sports trophy.
