Support the Arts
By purchasing a specialty license plate in Tennessee, you are helping to support some of state’s most beloved museums and arts organizations, including Cheekwood. The Specialty License Plate Program was created in the 1980s to provide a dedicated revenue source for Tennessee’s arts and cultural activities. Through the program, a portion of the specialty license plate sales proceeds goes to the Tennessee Arts Commission, which regrants the funds to arts organizations across the state.
