a NEw age studio

Our Mission

Olympian Studios, Inc. is a Tennessee nonprofit public benefit corporation, recognized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our mission is to advance arts, education, and community enrichment through live performance, music, film, media, and culinary innovation. Every dollar we receive is reinvested into programs and experiences that inspire creativity, build opportunity, and strengthen our community.

Our Name

Our name draws from Greek mythology. The Olympians were the younger gods who rose to bring a new order, standing apart from the Titans of old. In the same spirit, Olympian Studios represents a new era in arts and entertainment — bold, innovative, and community-focused. Where the traditional studio model has too often served profit before people, Olympian Studios is designed to serve the community first, creating access and opportunity for the next generation of creators.

Our Model

Olympian Studios operates as a nonprofit, but we collaborate with businesses, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural partners to fuel our mission. By combining the innovation of the private sector with the accountability of a 501(c)(3), we are building a sustainable model that delivers cultural, educational, and economic benefits to Hendersonville and beyond.

Our Vision

We believe that the arts have the power to transform lives. Our vision is to create a space where creativity thrives, young people discover their voice, and communities come together through shared experiences. With Sumner Studios, our future campus, Olympian Studios is not only reimagining what a studio can be — we’re building something that lasts for generations.

What We Aim to Accomplish

Foster Collaboration

We believe the future of the arts is built on collaboration. By bringing together film, music, theater, journalism, culinary arts, and live performance under one roof, Olympian Studios creates a space where ideas connect, partnerships thrive, and new possibilities emerge.

Support Emerging Talent

Our mission is to champion the next generation of creators. Olympian Studios provides opportunities for young artists, filmmakers, musicians, and performers to develop their craft, gain exposure, and build meaningful industry connections — ensuring the pipeline of talent remains strong and diverse.

Deliver Unforgettable Experiences

From the magic of cinema to the thrill of a live concert, the intimacy of theater, and the creativity of culinary innovation, we are dedicated to crafting experiences that leave a lasting impression. Every visit is designed to be memorable, every performance extraordinary, and every meal a story worth savoring.

Elevate Culinary Arts

Food brings people together. Our culinary division — including Olympian Dining, the Supper Club, and the Cabaret — is not only a cornerstone of our creative vision but also a key to financial sustainability. By blending fine dining, cultural programming, and community events, we aim to make culinary experiences a signature feature of Sumner Studios.

Innovate with Technology

We are committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancement in entertainment. From state-of-the-art sound and lighting to cutting-edge film production and immersive digital tools, we provide creators with everything they need to bring bold visions to life.
