Calendar of Events

The Arts & Culture Alliance is pleased to present four new exhibitions at the Emporium Center in downtown Knoxville from March 1-30, 2024. A free gathering with the artists will take place on Friday, March 1, from 5:00-9:00 PM and features music by Tinca Tinca.

"Aging into Vintage is the title for a new show which catalogs my experiences and works over the 25 years of my life and is based on a concept I learned when I started my first job at an antique store. In the resale market, anything older than 25 years is considered “vintage.” Having turned 25 after numerous "once-in-a-lifetime" events such as the COVID pandemic, 2008 recession, 9/11, and more, this series is a reflection of what it means to have lived through so much yet so little in the grand scheme, emulating a sense of walking through my map of memories in a both intimately personal and abstracted manner." Hannah Hancock is a professional mixed media artist, born and raised in Knoxville. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Maryville College and currently works as a manager at Jerry’s Artarama. She has participated in numerous regional art exhibitions throughout East Tennessee and teaches at a variety of art and crafts centers throughout the area. Instagram @coolio_punk
