Farragut High School Partnership Series

The son of Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard, Marc grew up surrounded by the diverse musical panorama for which his home state is renowned. Music informed his life from the get-go, whether it was joining his dad onstage at various clubs or singing in the Catholic University church choir. As he hit his teens, Broussard was already an accomplished artist, the veteran of a string of local bands and solo acoustic performances, known for tearing up the stage with the raw-throated gusto and worldly emotive power of a man three times his age.

Broussard made his recorded debut in 2002 with the remarkably mature independent release, Momentary Setback. He drew coast-to-coast acclaim in 2004 with his major-label debut, Carencro, a full-blooded take on the blues, soul, Cajun music, rock, and swamp-pop of his native Louisiana. With his emotive and dynamic voice, Broussard quickly won over a legion of devoted fans via nearly non-stop roadwork, including countless headline shows; show-stopping sets at festivals like South By Southwest, Bonnaroo, and of course, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Now, Broussard is back in Knoxville and ready to bring some “Bayou Soul” to the Bijou Theatre!

Historic Preservation Influences Artist’s Latest Work.

Beth Meadows is an artist who lives and works in Knoxville, TN. Her main medium is, but not limited to, acrylic on canvas. The pieces she has made for Rala are influenced by her position as the architectural salvage coordinator for the non-profit Knox Heritage. Beth re-uses old building materials in her work to promote the importance of historic preservation, and donates a portion of the proceeds of work sold to Knox Heritage. Her subject matter is inspired mostly by life in East Tennessee and music.

To view more of her work, please visit www.bethmeadows.com and www.etsy.com/shop/WithBearHands

The pieces will be displayed and available for sale at Räla, located at 323 Union Avenue in Downtown Knoxville, just off Market Square.

The Arts & Culture Alliance is pleased to present an exhibition of new works titled “uproot” by Keegan Luttrell, Emporium Center Artist-in-Residence, opening Friday, March 4, at 5:00 PM in the Balcony of the Emporium Center. This solo exhibition catalogs the six months (October 2010 – March 2011) of Luttrell’s residency and includes paintings, sculptures, performance, and installations. “‘uproot’ takes the viewer on a journey to re-experience childhood memories,” says Luttrell. “Comprised mostly of found objects and assemblage, my sculptures confront themes of escapism and fear. The reconstruction of home life and my own personal development into womanhood are illustrated in abstract gestural paintings.” For more information on Keegan Luttrell, visit www.keeganluttrell.com.

“uproot” will be displayed in the Balcony at the Emporium Center, 100 S. Gay Street, from March 4-25, 2011.
