Artsclamation! is an indoor juried fine art sale featuring professional regional artists in all mediums. This year the event returns to where it all began and will be located at Sacred Heart Cathedral in the new Cathedral Hall. Artsclamation! celebrates 20 years of bringing amazing artists, beautiful artwork, and generous buyers together to support an important cause.

The event begins on the evening of Friday, December 3, with an invitation-only gala preview party offering sumptuous hors d’oeuvres coupled with wine, spirits and eager collectors. On Saturday, December 4, the event is free and open to the public at large, always drawing a large turnout. Over the last ten years, total art sales from this 1 ½ day event have exceeded $70,000 annually.

Artsclamation! is the primary fundraiser for Peninsula, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults in East Tennessee. In addition to event sponsorships and other preview party ticket sales, a percentage of all artists’ sales will go directly to Peninsula.

AAFM: Architecture in Anime, Film, and Music

The silence within a space, how light trickles within a room, how one person can look across the room and see their other, rise and calamity versus sudden stupefying scenarios, AAFM is here to explore the depths and the detail of how Architecture/Space become critical elements within the structure of today’s multimedia and why they are so impactful on an intimate level.

The show is a collaboration between Undergraduate students from the School of Architecture and Art of The University of Tennessee at Knoxville. The fellow designers/artists that are presenting their work at AAFM are:

Briley Houston
Brendan Wallace
Christina Ceniceros
Elizabeth Elrod
