Keep Knoxville Beautiful is excited to announce the sixth annual Summit on February 7, 2025!

"How to build a heat-resilient city"

Is it hot in here or is it just the infrastructure?? From greenspaces to shade trees, from building design to construction materials, how we develop a city can either keep it cool or create intense heat pockets. Join Keep Knoxville Beautiful as we learn from experts about the necessity of building a heat resilient city where we can continue to live, work, and play.

States of Becoming examines the dynamic forces of relocation, resettling, and assimilation that shape the artistic practices of a group of contemporary artists of African descent working in the United States. The exhibition is inspired by curator Fitsum Shebeshe’s 2016 move from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Baltimore, and subsequent firsthand experience with cultural assimilation. Organized by Independent Curators International.

Knoxville Museum of Art, 1050 World's Fair Park, Knoxville, TN 37916. Hours: Tu-Sa 10-5, Su 1-5. Information: 865-525-6101, www.knoxart.org. Admission and parking are free.

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
