You may be wondering What IS Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School? Dr. Sketchy is what happens when cabaret meets art school! "Dr. Sketchy works hard to find the most luscious dancers, sideshow performers, unique models, burlesque performers, circus performers, drag artists, belly dancers, hunks of man-flesh and more. Then we let you draw and sculpt them for 2 hours. In between we may have performances and ridiculous drawing contests where you can win swag! We do this once a month." Come meet some of the local movers + shakers in the Knoxville art scene, including Paulk+Co's Spooktacular Exhibit artists. It's a great way to make friends, network & collaborate! Bring your sketch pad, easel or clay and MAKE ART with us.

In honor of our country’s armed forces, the Museum of Appalachia will offer free admission to all veterans and active-duty military on Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11. “We appreciate those men and women who risk their lives for our country,” said Elaine Meyer, the Museum’s president, “and this is one way to recognize our military and extend our gratitude for the sacrifices they’ve made.” The Museum’s mission is to preserve Appalachian heritage for future generations. Historical offerings of particular interest to veterans are displays on the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, as well as some other military ventures.

The Museum, a non-profit organization, includes some three dozen authentic log buildings and display halls, filled with Appalachian artifacts, with gardens and farm animals in a picturesque setting, all surrounded by split-rail fences. The Shop at the Museum of Appalachia features handiwork from Appalachian artisans, books authored by regional writers and unique "Made in America" gifts. The Museum's quaint restaurant offers hot country style lunches, fresh‐from‐the‐garden vegetables, and mouth‐watering home-made desserts. Facilities are available for weddings, reunions, meetings and other events. November hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (closed Thanksgiving Day).

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.

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.
