VOYAGE OF ADVENTURE

In September 2016, Nashville photographer John Guider set off on what would become a two-month, 1,000-mile journey along Tennessee’s waterways. Guider’s goal was to follow, as closely as possible, Col. John Donelson’s 1779 journey from Virginia to what would become Nashville. Voyage of Adventure uses stunning river footage, excerpts from Donelson’s journal and images shot by Guider to tell both stories. Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Kathy Mattea narrates the hour-long documentary which was produced in partnership with The Tennessean.

Voyage of Adventure was launched in July with a premiere event in our Studio A that included a catered reception and a panel discussion with Guider, Jessica Bliss and George Walker IV, the Tennessean staffers who had chronicled parts of his journey. A series of Guider’s photographs were projected onto the sail of his boat, which was on display in the studio.

Subsequent Voyage of Adventure screenings were hosted by the Cumberland River Compact and the Tennessee State Museum.

Major funding for Voyage of Adventure was provided by The Anne Potter Wilson Foundation, Bank of America, N.A. Trustee; Cathy and Martin Brown and the MSB Cockayne Fund; Gilbert S. Merritt; and Dell.
