This year will be a hybrid event with mostly take-out and a smaller area for community dining if the pandemic lessens and people so desire. At this time, we plan four timed dining takeout hours — 4 pm, 5 pm, 6 pm, and 7 pm. Tickets are $30 each and entitle the holder to select their favorite soup and one of the gorgeous bowls made by our pottery instructors, students, and member potters. It offers our patrons an opportunity to collect handmade works of art while having dinner with friends AND supporting the Art Center program. (Dinner out—WIN, Get a handmade bowl—WIN, meet friends— WIN, support community asset— WIN!) Thanks to the generous contributions of local restaurants, individuals and our member volunteer chefs, the food is always delicious and plentiful. Tickets are limited and will be available by December 15 (for those of you who would like to give them as Christmas gifts). Our best advice: get your tickets early!

Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity, scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife Catherine wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.

We love this play for its humor, honesty, and magical healing.

Performances: Feb. 10-13, Feb. 18-20, 24-27

Beginning Monday, Feb. 7, The Arts at Pellissippi State presents Muriel Condon: Fabric Print and Quilt in the Bagwell Center for Media Art Gallery. Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays.

Condon, a printmaker who is pursuing her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Tennessee, curated a fabric quilt print exchange with fellow printmakers from across the United States in 2021. Each printmaker, including Knoxville’s own Jake Ingram, contributed works on 12-inch by 12-inch fabric quilt squares, which Condon then pieced together.

“The overall installation touches on the tension between collaborative and individual art, two-dimensional vs. three-dimensional art, fine art vs. craft and objects that we use,” said Pellissippi State Professor Herb Rieth.

Condon received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Montana State University in Printmaking and Painting in 2016 and has studied and served at Frogman’s Print Workshops in Omaha, Nebraska; the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia; and Whiteaker Printmakers in Eugene, Oregon. Before moving to Knoxville, she also participated in the Print Arts Northwest’s Emerging Printmaker residency and was an instructional assistant for screen printing at Linn-Benton Community College in Oregon.

Muriel Condon: Fabric Print and Quilt will be on display until Friday, March 4. The Bagwell Gallery is on Pellissippi State’s Hardin Valley Campus, 10915 Hardin Valley Road, Knoxville.
