Matt Johnstone’s monthly event — Free Nashville Poetry Library’s Show & Sell: A Maker’s Bazaar — has a very long title that reflects the broad appeal of the monthly Arts and Music at Wedgewood-Houston staple. The bazaar is a meeting place for small-press publishers and zine authors, and readers who love independent, short-run, weirdo press of all kinds. Plus, gallery wine just tastes better while having conversations about post-situationism or DIY tattooing and saying “What Would John Ashbery Do?” And the bazaar’s 4 p.m. start time just outside The Packing Plant builds a perfect bridge between the daytime gallery’s open house hours and the nighttime gallery receptions.
