The Arts & Culture Alliance proudly presents its 2025 Members Show, the largest annual exhibition of local artists in the Greater Knoxville area.
The fresh mix of two- and three-dimensional works created within the last two years encompasses a wide variety of media such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, photography, fine craft, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, and more from regional artists who are all individual members of the Arts & Culture Alliance, which serves and supports a diverse community of artists, arts organizations, and cultural institutions.
“The non-juried work included in ACA’s annual members’ exhibition has grown and matured so much that we decided to include two this year,” says Liza Zenni, Executive Director of the Arts & Culture Alliance. “The first was in July and we now look forward to another in December (when we traditionally host it). If that’s not proof of the an increasing and increasingly vibrant arts scene in Knoxville, I don’t know what is.”
Individual members of the Alliance participate locally and regionally in gallery exhibitions, art festivals, sculpture trails, weekend shows, studio tours, and public murals. Some Alliance members are full-time artists, while others have day jobs and create on evenings and weekends. Some members include art professors with the University of Tennessee, Carson-Newman University, Maryville College, Pellissippi State, Roane State, and Walters State. Others are teachers within Knox and surrounding counties’ elementary, middle and high schools.
Many Alliance members teach classes privately or through community classes with the Appalachian Arts Craft Center, Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, The Bottom, Fountain City Art Center, Knoxville Art Center, Knoxville Museum of Art, Mighty Mud, and Oak Ridge Art Center. Many of the artists have working studios in their own homes, while some are part of studio collectives such as Broadway Studios & Gallery, The Emporium, Mighty Mud, Relay Ridge, Sunday Studios, and West Fifth Studios.
