Membership is open to all, and information may be found at www.knoxalliance.com/join-renew.

“What a wonderful collection of thought-inducing work from some of the Arts & Culture Alliance’s thousands of members,” says Liza Zenni, Executive Director of the Arts & Culture Alliance. “As Greater Knoxville’s only Local Arts Agency and United Fund, we couldn’t be prouder to support and serve this dynamic community of artists.”

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-Knoxville, 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. Some Alliance members teach classes privately or through community classes with the Appalachian Arts Craft Center, Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, Fountain City Art Center, Knoxville Arts & Fine Crafts 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.

The 2024 Members Show will be on display throughout the Emporium Center, 100 S. Gay Street, in downtown Knoxville.
