Calendar of Events

Color Refined features the abstract works of Beatrice Riese, Siri Berg,
Gabriele Evertz, Rella Stuart-Hunt, and Rachel Beach. Born outside of the
United States, each woman emigrated here for various reasons - love,
education, and to escape political turmoil. The women all chose New York as
their home, and their mature art careers developed and flourished in the
city. Color Refined focuses on each artist's utilization and exploration of
color and color theory as the main feature of her abstract work. This
exhibition also celebrates the creative accomplishments of immigrants who
enrich and contribute to American culture.

From November 10 - December 12 the Ewing Gallery will be exhibiting Color
Refined. We will have an opening reception for the exhibition on Monday,
November 10 from 5:30 - 7 PM in the Ewing Gallery. The artists will be
present. On Tuesday, November 11 at 3:30 PM, we will be hosting a panel
discussion with the artists of Color Refined in room 109 of UT's Art and
Architecture Building. The panel will be moderated by UT painting professor
Karla Wozniak. On Wednesday, November 12 at 7:30 PM in room 109 of the Art
and Architecture building Rachel Beach will be giving a lecture on her work.
Beach is a New York-based sculptor.

All events are free and open to the public. Free parking for all events is
available in Circle Park on Volunteer Boulevard.

Please note, the Ewing Gallery will close from November 26 - 30th in
observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.

For questions, please contact the Ewing Gallery ewing@utk.edu

Lawson McGhee Library
The Dinner by Herman Koch
Facilitator: Joe Sumter

In The Dinner, two brothers and their wives meet for dinner at a posh restaurant. One man is soon to be the next prime minister of the Netherlands. The other narrates this evening's meeting. Outwardly everything seems to be fine; yet tension is bubbling under the surface. The families have come together to discuss an incident involving each of their sons. The boys were caught on film committing a horrific act. What started as a pleasant evening between family members devolves as we discover how far each couple will go to defend their own child.

Two exhibits will kick off the holiday season at the Art Market Gallery. Sponsored by Clayton Bank, recent works by the gallery’s featured artists for November, acrylic painter George Rothery and functional artist Kathy Lovelace, both of Knoxville, will be on display, as well as a show of works by new members who were juried into the gallery during 2014.

An opening reception for these exhibitions will be held from 5:30 to 9 p.m., Nov. 7, during Downtown Knoxville’s monthly First Friday Art Walk, with complimentary refreshments and jazz and blues from the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s performed by Melanie and the Meltones.

George A. Rothery Jr. is known for his marine art. The University of Tennessee graduate owned galleries in Knoxville from 1958 to 1980, representing well known artists and selling some of his own small oils. Later he studied with Walter Hollis Stevens and, now, as a professional artist, he concentrates on acrylics and oils. He especially enjoys researching sea lore so that he can combine his keen interest in history with his love of art. Rothery’s paintings are in public and private collections coast to coast, and he belongs to Salmagundi Club (New York City), American Society of Marine Painters, and Tennessee Artists Association, among others. His website is www.Georgerothery.com.

Kathy Lovelace, who was born into an Air Force family, has drawn and made things with her hands since childhood. The longtime banker-turned-artist began her new career by creating an acrylic painting of a small-mouth bass to give to her husband, an avid fly-fisherman. She now specializes in the brook, brown and rainbow trout found in streams of the Great Smoky Mountains. Lovelace describes her work as “functional art” since her paintings are depicted on small furniture and home accessories which then are protected with multiple coats of polycrylic in order to make them safe to use without fear of damage. Her website is, fittingly, www.troutpainter.com.

Members recently juried in to the Art Market Gallery are: Diane Aldrich (Gatlinburg) 2D mixed media; Mary Saylor (Knoxville) papier-mache sculpture; Ron Smith (Dandridge) handmade pens; Lynda Best (Tellico Plains), Dede Christopher (Maryville), Inna Nasonova (Lenoir City), Chriss Hardy, Kate McCullough, and Bradford W. Smith (all of Knoxville), painting.

Owned and operated by 62 professional regional artists, the Art Market Gallery, at 422 South Gay St., is a few doors from Mast General Store and next to Downtown Grill & Brewery. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday; 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday. The gallery is wheelchair accessible, and parking in nearby public garages and on the street is free on weekends and after 6 p.m. weekdays.

Afterlight
1. the light visible in the sky after sunset; afterglow.
2. a view of past events; retrospect.

Hues grow warmer and more vivid in the afterlight of fading autumn days, while memories past usher in with the approaching season. Afterlight showcases the work of several gallery artists, many of whom are local.

Join us at The District Gallery for one of the most festive times of year, as we remember times past and anticipate the cheer and colors to come. Artists include Janet Lucas Beck, Gary Dagnan, Connie Gaertner, Nancy Lloyd-Hooker, Joe Parrott, and Karen Weihs.

Meet the artists and enjoy seasonal fare from 5-8 p.m. The show is on display through November 29.
