This unique neighborhood is filled with an array of laid-back dining options, from scrumptious chicken dishes at Smokin Thighs to the sweet baked goods at Dozen Bakery. It’s also a historic architecture lover’s paradise. For a look at some of Nashville’s most inspiring original buildings, check out Houston Station — the 1885 building now houses an amazing event space — and Merritt Mansion, a beautiful home built in the late 1800s.

This creative community is home to several art galleries, all within walking distance of each other and your home. David Lusk Gallery features artists from across the country and a variety of mediums, from sculptures to video installations. And Zeitgeist gallery’s changing exhibits feature contemporary artwork from a range of talented artists. While you can enjoy browsing each of the 20 galleries on your own, a great way to preview each arthouse is through WeHo’s Arts & Music event, showcasing the best of the neighborhood’s art scene every month.

In addition to viewing art, you have plenty of opportunities to create your own art in WeHo. Fun artistic spots like Fort Houston or AR Workshop, plus other artistic vendors throughout the neighborhood, are happy to help spark your inner creativity.
