Clarence Brown Theatre: Knoxville

Category: Music and Theatre

KNOXVILLE
BOOK BY FRANK GALATI
MUSIC BY STEPHEN FLAHERTY
LYRICS BY LYNN AHRENS
BASED ON THE NOVEL 'A DEATH IN THE FAMILY' BY JAMES AGEE
BASED, IN PART, ON THE PLAY 'ALL THE WAY HOME' BY TAD MOSEL

Based on James Agee’s autobiographical, Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece 'A Death in the Family', this moving and innovative new musical reunites the dynamic Tony Award®-winning creative team behind 'Ragtime'. The story begins as an adult Agee struggles to write his greatest work about the event that touched his young life and the effect it had on his family and his future. An evocative depiction of loss and grief and the forces that shape who we are, 'Knoxville' is a universal coming-of-age story about family, faith, and love—and about the boy who will grow up to write it. With a sweeping musical score and brilliant cast, this is a must-see event.

Clarence Brown Theatre, 1714 Andy Holt Ave on the UT campus, Knoxville, TN 37996. For information/tickets: 865-974-5161, www.clarencebrowntheatre.com

Ewing Gallery: Cecelia Condit

Category: Exhibitions, visual art, Film and Free event

EWING GALLERY | ART + ARCHITECTURE BUILDING, UT CAMPUS

Since 1981, Cecelia Condit’s videos have created heroines whose lives swing between beauty and the grotesque, innocence and cruelty, youth and fragility. Her work puts a subversive spin on the traditional mythology of women in film and the psychology of sexuality and violence. Exploring the dark side of female subjectivity, her “feminist fairy tales” focus on friendships, age, and the natural world.

The Ewing Gallery of Art + Architecture will be exhibiting a rotating selection of Condit’s short films as well as a monumental installation of her latest film, A Parable of Now — a triptych that represents Condit’s reaction to the environmental crisis and our uncertain futures.

Artist Lecture, Monday, September 30, 5:30pm | McCarty Auditorium, A+A Building
Condit’s lecture is sponsored by the Denbo Center for Humanities & the Arts as part of their 2024-2025 Distinguished Lecture Series.

Knoxville Museum of Art: Jo Sandman/TRACES

Category: Exhibitions, visual art and Free event

Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA) is thrilled to launch an exciting new schedule of exhibitions, beginning with Jo Sandman/TRACES, opening to the public on August 23, 2024. The public is warmly invited to the opening reception that Friday from 6:00-9:00 pm. A special Members-Only hour will take place from 6:00-7:00 pm, with a talk by Alice Sebrell, curator of TRACES, at 6:15. Attendees can expect to enjoy summer refreshments, a signature cocktail, and a special musical performance by Rubens Ghenov. The event is free and open to the public, with a cash bar.

Jo Sandman is celebrated for her restless curiosity, sparked by her time at Black Mountain College, and expressed through her experimentation with various imagery, materials, and processes. For more than seventy years, she fearlessly explored an interdisciplinary mix of painting, drawing, experimental sculpture, installation, and photography. Close examination of this work reflects Sandman’s desire to try anything in pursuit of her ideas. TRACES, organized by the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, Asheville, NC, offers viewers a rare opportunity to experience the evolution of the artist’s journey over multiple decades.

"We are honored to present Jo Sandman's TRACES at the Knoxville Museum of Art," said KMA Executive Director Steven Matijcio. "Her unique artistic vision and profound impact on the art world make this exhibition a must-see for art enthusiasts and the broader community alike."
