The Athens Area Council for the Arts announces this year’s annual juried art competition and exhibit, “The Art of Still Life”, to be held at The Arts Center, 320 North White Street, Athens, Tennessee, from November 6, 2012 – January 4, 2013. Over $1200.00 in prize money will be awarded in three divisions – high school, college, and open. Residents of McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Polk, and Bradley counties have been invited to participate by entering artworks.

The goal of this juried art show is to encourage artists to stretch the limits of what we consider a ‘still life’, defined as the depiction of a grouping of inanimate objects. While the still life has been a key subject for many artists in all eras, this tradition remains fresh and relevant as each succeeding generation seeks new interpretations of the form.

The Art of Still Life opening reception and awards ceremony will be held at The Arts Center on November 13, 2012. Hosted by the Community Artists’ League, the reception will begin at 6:00 p.m. to allow for viewing of the entries and voting on the People’s Choice Award. Light refreshments will be served. The awards ceremony will begin 7:00 p.m. The public, artists, family, and friends are invited to attend.

For more information or directions visit www.athensartscouncil.org or call AACA at (423) 745-8781. The ArtsCenter is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. Admission is free.

For art and photography students, there is perhaps no better place to be immersed in studies than Italy or Austria, birthplace of many artists.

Artist Reception at Last Friday Art Walk, November 30, 2012 6pm-8pm

The East Tennessee Historical Society and the Tennessee State Museum are pleased to announce that the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission’s official traveling exhibition, Common People in Uncommon Times, will be on view at the Museum of East Tennessee History through January 13, 2013.

This pictorial narrative represents a diverse array of personalities--Confederate soldiers, Union sympathizers, African-Americans, gallant women-- whose sagas illustrate a land divided. The saga of personal struggle and endurance during the Civil War is presented on 10 graphic panels taken from the State Museum’s collection of photographs and artifacts from the era, as well as from other collections across the state. Each panel portrays a different theme: Confederate leaders, Union leaders, African-Americans, civilian home front, common soldiers, war on the water, reconstruction and commemoration.

The exhibition commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil Will and is accompanied by a tie-in exhibit, In Death Not Divided: Civil War Tombstones and the Stories They Tell, organized by the East Tennessee Historical Society.

From bridge burners to hangings, heroes to villains, grand monuments to simple stones, In Death Not Divided: Civil War Tombstones and the Stories They Tell is an intensely personal look at East Tennessee's Civil War experience.

November 2--January 13. Monday--Friday, 9 a.m.-4p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m.-4p.m., Sunday 1-5p.m.
Museum of East Tennessee History, 601 S. Gay Street, Knoxville
