On November 16, "Jurassic Park," produced in 1993, focuses on an age-old fantasy that becomes a reality as dinosuars are genetically re-created for the ultimate theme park in this adaptation of Michael Crichton's best selling novel, Jurassic Park.

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. Students participating in the summer 2012 TnCIS study abroad programs did just that, and we are pleased to exhibit selected drawings, sketchbooks, and photographs from their travels.
Opening reception November 8, 3:00-5:00 PM

At the Bagwell Center Gallery. Hours: M-F 9-4
Hardin Valley Campus (10915 Hardin Valley Road, Knoxville, TN 37933).

“Paper Trail” is one of the events that make up Pellissippi State’s new arts series, The Arts at Pellissippi State. The series brings to the community cultural activities ranging from music and theatre to international celebrations, lectures and the fine arts.
