EAST Collective was founded by East Nashville artist-parents and educators with a shared dream of a creative home for all ages.

Today, it’s being built and led by Allison Link (founder of Tenn Little Birds) and veteran Broadway performer Ryan Link, with a growing circle of teaching artists and collaborators helping bring EAST to life.
