The Hunter Museum is pleased to announce The Hunter Invitational V, an exhibition that showcases remarkable artists living and working in our region. The Hunter began the Invitational exhibition series in 2007 to recognize the vibrant art scene of the Southeast while also examining its connection to broader trends in the art world. Unlike large, juried shows, the Invitational offers a more focused exploration of a select group of artists. For this fifth installment, the Hunter has invited nine regional artists to create new works or further develop existing series.

Whether emerging or established, each artist in the exhibition expands the boundaries of their chosen mediums through innovative techniques, approaches, techniques, and subject matter. The artists were chosen over the course of a year, as Hunter Museum Chief Curator Nandini Makrandi conducted numerous studio visits across eastern and middle Tennessee, North Georgia, and northern Alabama.

The exhibition will showcase new works and give visitors an opportunity to delight in the “discovery” of artists from their own communities.
