Samantha Saturn

Samantha Saturn was just one year old when The American Artisan Festival first kicked off in Nashville in 1972.  As the youngest daughter of founder Nancy Saturn, Samantha became her protege and spent many years both working at The American Artisan Gallery (a Niche award-winner which closed in 2009) as well as managing and running the festival for many years.  When Nancy Saturn passed away in 2010, Samantha produced the festival in her honor and has continued the tradition. Samantha currently works full-time as the Chief Marketing Officer at SESAC Performing Rights but maintains the festival to honor her families legacy.
