Tomato Art Fest
Organizers of the Tomato Art Festival reached out to Kaleidoscope Media to not only manage media coverage of the event but also seek out sponsorship opportunities that would enhance the brand and in the early years, help manage the logistics of the event. Kaleidoscope Media has generated local, regional and national media attention for the Tomato Art Festival. Our campaign led to features in the Tennessean, Scene, City Paper and Southern Living (just to name a few). The Tomato Art Festival continues to grow and thrives as a community event locals can take pride. "A uniter not a divider" the fest has been voted number one festival in the Nashville Scene's "best of" poll since 2007.
“I am probably one of Kaleidoscope’s smallest clients, but have always felt like I was given the attention of a star. The staff at Kaleidoscope considers my needs and tailors their services to suit them. They have helped the Tomato Art Fest in East Nashville to expand and receive national attention in a way that we could not have done on our own. It is a pleasure to work with the staff at Kaleidoscope Media, and I hope to continue my relationship with them for many years to come.”

About Tomato Art Fest
Meg and Bret MacFadyen, owners of Art and Invention Gallery in historic East Nashville, started the Tomato Art Fest in 2004, when they saw a need in East Nashville for a community event. They decided that the best part of August is ripe, juicy tomatoes, so that is what they chose as their theme. Thus, the Tomato Art Fest was born and a motto soon followed, "The tomato...a uniter, not a divider...bringing together fruits and vegetables." Voted Best Festival three years in a row by the Nashville Scene Readers Poll, the Tomato Art Fest has captured imaginations and appealed to Nashville's sense of fun and community. What started as a Tomato Art Show at Art & Invention Gallery has grown into a FREE, mutiple-day event, including live music, various tomato contests and many more activities for all ages.
The Tomato Art Fest has since been voted “Best Festival” in the 2007 and 2008 Nashville Scene Reader’s Polls. In 2008, an estimated 12,000 people came to celebrate this beloved fruit/vegetable and enjoy the day’s festivities and it still contiues to grow with each year that passes.
