Description
WELCOME to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s Online Application Portal.
William N. Rollins Fund for the Arts
Bill Rollins' passion was the breathtaking and intricate collages he created from origami paper. A Nashville native, Bill graduated from University School, attended college in Massachusetts, and then lived in Boston working in art galleries, staging art shows and painting. After returning to Nashville to continue pursuing his artistic dream, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He worked with his family and his advisors to create a legacy for himself and a continuing source of funding for the arts he loved.
