Words, images, and music that share the intimate struggle through addiction, depression, and art. “Shooting Star” exhibits the works of young artists who articulated the depth of human emotion before their untimely passing.

Gypsy Cadillac’s co-founder Valarie Allyn Bienas adds a poignant depth to the exhibition. After losing her son, Z, to an accidental overdose, she underwent a profound transformation in her life and art. Her new works reflect a brave exploration of the human experience.

The exhibition will feature artwork from Valarie’s son Z, alongside pieces by Jordan Watts, the late brother of local Nashville singer-songwriter Kelsie Watts, who lost his battle with depression at a young age.

Additionally, Gypsy Cadillac has partnered with The Onsite Foundation’s “Life After Loss Program,” donating profits to this vital cause.

The “Shooting Star” exhibit will host a silent auction, a sponsorship star installation, artist prints, and gatherings for purpose-driven gift-giving over the holidays.
