Art & Culture Alliance

A&CA received nearly 625 entries from 160 artists throughout the region, and 46 pieces have been selected for the show. I received my congratulatory email this past afternoon.

The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (McGhee Tyson Airport) and the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville are pleased to present “Arts in the Airport”, a new exhibition featuring selected artwork from over 40 artists in the East Tennessee region.  “Arts in the Airport” was developed to allow regional artists to compete and display work in the most visited site in the area.  The selected art features contemporary 2- and 3-dimensional artwork and will be exhibited from October 28 - April 19, 2012.

 The exhibition officially opens to the public on Tuesday, November 8, with a reception starting at 5:00 PM in front of the ticket counters (just inside the Departures entrance).  Please park in short-term parking, and bring your parking ticket with you to get it validated.  The airport staff will take up to 25 people at a time through security to view the exhibition.  You do have to pass through the security checkpoint.  Best of Show and other awards will be announced at 6:00 PM.  Please RSVP to Hughes@tys.org or 865-342-3016.

 Please join me at the reception and dinner afterwards...
