Knoxville Museum of Art: The Art of War
Category: Exhibitions, visual art, Free event and Fundraisers
Members of the press and public are invited to attend “The Art of War,” an art exhibit curated by nonprofit RESTORE UKRAINE in one of Knoxville’s leading museums. “The Art of War: Expressing the true cost of war in Ukraine” opens on December 20th in the Knoxville Museum of Art’s (KMA) Kramer Gallery and will be open to the public until February 20th of next year.
“This exhibit is meant to illuminate the consequences of Russia’s war in Ukraine,” Executive Director Yaro Hnatusko said. “Each piece was created by those who have faced conflict: Ukrainian children, parents, refugees, volunteers, and soldiers.”
“The Art of War” offers an authentic and unfiltered look at the harsh realities of today’s conflict through the lens of those who have experienced it. This exhibition aims not only to foster empathy but to deepen the world’s connection with those who continue to endure the unseen and unthinkable. Visitors will also witness the artwork of local East Tennesseans who saw their own stories within the footprint of violence in Ukraine. Both American and Ukrainian artists joined the benefit exhibition to share a common goal: defeat indifference and raise the quality of life of Ukrainians. Throughout the exhibition, multiple pieces will be offered for sale with the exception of priceless pieces like children’s finger paintings and a Ukrainian flag signed by those living in frontline communities. “This event is a unique opportunity to gather as a community and be an asset to each other,” Yaro highlighted. www.restore-ukraine.org
The museum is located in downtown Knoxville at 1050 World’s Fair Park Drive and is open to the public Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. Admission and parking are free. For more information, visit www.knoxart.org
