Connections Through Craft is a members showcase by artists working in a variety of media who have come together to highlight the mission of the statewide Tennessee Craft organization: to connect emerging and experienced makers as well as the public with resources and opportunities to make their mark on Tennessee’s handmade legacy. The East chapter exhibition will feature both fine arts and crafts pieces as well as a public mural piece created during the recent Art in the Valley festival at Ijams Nature Center. The mural aims to demonstrate how the community may be connected through craft. For more information on the festival, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/698535843903685/.

As the only networked community of its kind across the state, Tennessee Craft nurtures talent and creates artist connections through programs funded by donations and signature exhibition events; it has been Tennessee’s largest, most visible and most respected craft artist organization since 1965. Tennessee Craft-East serves the sixteen counties of Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Sevier, and Union.
