DLG is excited to present pARTisan, an exhibition exploring civic engagement in Tennessee. Curated by Sarah Baer, and presented in partnership with Tennessee Rise.

This project creates space for artists, advocates, and community members to come together through a week of art, community and dialogue. pARTisan brings together a diverse range of media and perspectives united by a common purpose: addressing the challenges facing Tennessee with a vision for the possibilities of what we could be. Each artwork will be available through a live and online auction, offering audiences the opportunity to support both the participating artists and Tennessee Rise. Proceeds will be split, with half going directly to the artist, and the other half will be a donation to Tennessee Rise, extending the impact of the exhibition far beyond the gallery walls.

Alongside the exhibition, a series of public panel discussions will pair artists with activists to explore pressing issues that face Tennesseans today.
