About
Allison & Lynn
The Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville is thrilled to introduce the 2027 Show General Chairs, Allison Schaufele and Lynn Brown. Fast friends who met when their eldest children were in preschool together, Allison and Lynn have spent over a decade raising families, volunteering and building community in Nashville side by side. They bring to the role a natural partnership, deep ties to the city and a genuine love for everything the Show represents.
As a Nashville native, Allison grew up attending the Show with her mother and has never lost her affection for it. After a decade with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in Washington, D.C., where she developed the company’s entertainment sales segment and coordinated experiences for some of the world’s most distinguished guests, she returned home and devoted herself fully to raising her three children. Her volunteer work includes the Swan Ball, the Symphony Fashion Show, the Harpeth River Conservancy, the McNeilly Center for Children and Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital, where she served as fundraising director. A longtime Show volunteer, Allison has been inspired by the women who have led this event and stayed true to its identity. She is eager to carry that legacy forward.
Lynn came to Nashville from Memphis in 2013 and threw herself into building a life here, raising four children and planting deep roots in the community she now calls home. Her connection to the Show deepened through a mentorship with former Floral Chair Mary Spotswood Underwood, and she eventually stepped into that role herself, serving as floral chair for four years. A lifelong gardener and floral enthusiast who inherited her love of flowers from her parents, Lynn brings both creative passion and hands-on Show experience to the co-chair role. Her broader community involvement includes The Next Door Recovery, Room in the Inn, Cheekwood Family Society Council, Montgomery Bell Academy and St. Paul Christian Academy, along with five years of service traveling to the Dominican Republic with Mission Emmanuel.
With complementary backgrounds, a shared commitment to family and community, and years of friendship to draw on, Allison and Lynn are excited to bring their own energy and vision to the 2027 Show and to support Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and ECON Charities alongside the remarkable staff and volunteers who make it all possible.
