Join the East Tennessee Historical Society on November 16 and 19 for two special programs commemorating the East Tennessee settlement of author Frances Hodgson Burnett, whose works include Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden. It was in 1865 that the widow Eliza Boond Hodgson brought her five children, including the 13-year-old Frances, to America, settling first in Jefferson County and moving a few years later to Knoxville, where Frances began writing as a way to contribute to the income of the struggling family. The mother died in Knoxville in 1870 and is buried in Old Gray Cemetery. It was in Knoxville that Frances sold her first story, married her first husband, Swan Burnett, a medical doctor, and gave birth to her first child. The programs are free and open to the public.

At 11 a.m., November 16, the public is invited to join ETHS and members of the Burnett family for a wreath laying at the grave of Eliza Boond Hodgson, at Old Gray Cemetery, Knoxville.

At noon, November 19, Penny Deupree, the great-granddaughter of the author, will be at the East Tennessee History Center for a Brown Bag lecture based on family memories, photos, mementos, and life of the famous author. Jack Neely will open the program with remarks on the life of Frances Hodgson Burnett in Knoxville and her writing career. Neely is the executive director of the Knoxville History Project, contributing editor of the Knoxville Mercury, and the author of several books on local history.

The Brown Bag Lecture is sponsored by 21st Mortgage and is free and open to the public. The lecture will begin at noon at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay Street, Knoxville. Guests are invited to bring a “Brown Bag” lunch and enjoy the lecture. Soft drinks will be available.

Inspired by place and process, Pinkney Herbert’s work is a spirited exploration in color and line derived from the sights, sounds, and energies of the two principal cities – Memphis and New York – in which this body of work was created. Graffiti-like gestures scrawl atop digital prints, which are collaged and integrated into his paintings. Herbert draws inspiration from art historical and vernacular sources — including patterns, street signs, advertisements, and architecture. In this 30-year survey, we follow Pinkney Herbert on his transformative journey from the narrative into abstraction.

The Gallery is open M-W, 10am - 5pm, Thurs: 10am - 7:30pm and Sundays 1-4pm
The Gallery will be closed November 26 - 29 for Thanksgiving.

The Arts & Culture Alliance is pleased to present a new exhibition of paintings by clients of Open Arms Care’s Flying Brushes program entitled “Unbound” that will be displayed at the Emporium Center. Art therapy is often the only way out of a marginalized life in which barriers of intellectual and physical disabilities are compounded by institutional and social stigma; a stigma that further confines already hampered personalities, making them seem beyond connection, almost infantile, vegetative, lost. Inside a limited set of mind/body connections are unlimited possibilities.

Harold is an example of one individual benefiting from Open Arms Care’s art program, Flying Brushes. Harold is unable to speak, unable to walk, unable to use his hands/arms. He communicates with his eyes. He is able to answer “yes” or “no” by looking up for “yes” and down for “no”. Utilizing a laser pointer headband, he is able to point the tiny red light to select colors from a chart, and the staff assisting him, the tracker, will confirm that the shade and consistency is exactly as the artist desires. Paint brushes, sponges, spoons, combs, and a plethora of other utensils are spread across a table where he points to his tool of choice. Every action is detailed; every step is questioned by the tracker to ensure they are doing what he instructs with the laser. One painting will take anywhere from two to eight hours to complete, sometimes spanning numerous days. “The result is absolutely breathtaking,” says Nikki Byrd, Director of Day Services & Development. “This artwork proves that men, women and children whose physical or intellectual spectrum is narrower than most exude their own luminance just the same.”

“Unbound” will be on display at the Emporium Center, 100 S. Gay Street. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. For more information, please contact the Arts & Culture Alliance at (865) 523-7543, or visit the Web site at www.knoxalliance.com.

Native genius. Boy artist. These and other descriptors were often applied to Lloyd Branson, who grew from a precocious sketcher on his family’s East Tennessee farm to an accomplished artist best known for portraits of Southern politicians and depictions of early Tennessee history. For the first time, Branson is the subject of a major retrospective, which chronicles his life, works of art, and legacy as one of the most influential figures in Knoxville’s early art circles. Please join us in celebrating Branson’s life and art!
