A special art showing of David Arms’ works will run July 30 through Aug. 1 as part of Old Edwards Inn and Spa’s Season of the Arts.

For many years, Arms was one of the leading special event designers in the country, producing award-winning events from coast to coast. In 1996, he was presented the “Award of Excellence” by Special Events Magazine for his outstanding designs and contributions to the events industry. Also in 1996, he chose to devote himself full-time to his fine arts career.

He is a self-taught artist that is known for his ability to create compositions that simplify a subject to its essence. Arms’ paintings can be found in private collections and noteworthy publications. Each piece is given great detail that is evident in the final result. He resides in Nashville, Tenn. with his wife and two daughters.
