This meeting is free and open to anyone interested in the arts in East Tennessee. CDC Covid guidelines will be followed. Refreshments will be served.

The program will feature artist Sarah Pollock. Sarah Pollock is an oil painter who specializes in landscapes and cityscapes. Her paintings represent the world at full volume, celebrating the beauty of the world in urban and natural environments. With the variety and amount of natural resources available, she finds Tennessee a continual source of inspiration.

Pollock often begins her work with small, experimental paintings, returning to the same subjects in a larger, more formal format. Pollock describes these paintings as “mega” companions to the smaller mini studies. More about Pollock’s work can be found on Instagram @ sarahpollockstudio or on her website https://www.sarahpollock.com.

A collaboration between the Clarence Brown, the Institute of American Civics, the departments of English, Classics, History, and Theatre at UT, and the international research group the R/18 Collective.

Cato is the play Washington staged at Valley Forge after that 1777-78 winter. It is set in north Africa in 46 BCE, as Cato braces for the invasion of Caesar and imperial Rome. It's about how a republic slips into empire and becomes vulnerable to dictators. The play raises key questions for our time about the nature of citizenship and the challenges of keeping democratic institutions healthy.

Sep 16, 19, 20 & 21 at 7 PM and Sep 17 at 2:30 PM
Each performance will run for about 1:15, after which there will be a brief panel consideration of one of the key questions listed here, followed by a time for the audience to talk to each other about that question. We hope it will model the kinds of conversations we need to have to find our way forward in these times.

Tickets are free but need to be reserved in advance: https://tiny.utk.edu/cato
The conversation after is a chance to bring our community together around issues that matter to all of us.

Including work by Anna Boothe, Ashley Benton, Josh Copus, Eric Pardue, Tommie Rush, Andrew Saftel, Marty McConnaughey, the Estate of Roger Luebke, and many others!
