The Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA) is thrilled to announce the reopening of its newly renovated, hands-on creative space which will include the debut of commissioned artworks by Knoxville-based artists, a new name and signage, a scavenger hunt, as well as new interactive art-making activities. The space formerly known as Creative Corner will now be named “Aubrey Jaye’s Art Play,” in honor of Aubrey Jaye Burleson and the transformative support of her parents Melissa and Randy Burleson. The Burlesons have been long-time supporters of the KMA in a variety of ways, and were motivated to offer a family-friendly space to museum-goers that cultivates and inspires the creative energy of children, as well as all those young-at-heart. Aubrey Jaye’s Art Play encourages young visitors and their families to make art while surrounded by art – offering both traditional media (drawing & painting) as well as custom-designed digital tablets loaded with a plethora of possibilities.

Aubrey Jaye’s Art Play is conveniently located next to the museum's front desk, making it a perfect first stop – or finale – for visitors. This colorful, engaging space encourages children to channel their inherent artistic talents into masterpieces that can speak to what they see and feel in the Museum. While children immerse themselves in play and exploration, guardians are encouraged to join in on the fun, making it a dynamic destination for visitors of all ages.

The renovation, which began in October 2024, is a collaborative project featuring the work of five esteemed local artists: Denise Stewart-Sanabria, Carl Gombert, Jean Hess, Paris Woodhull, and Annie Rochelle. The artists toured the space individually and collectively, to ultimately create a harmonious environment where their individual styles merge into something magical beyond the sum of its parts. In addition to its installations and warm new design, Aubrey Jaye’s Art Play will feature state-of-the-art technology developed by Protozone Interactives.

Aubrey Jaye’s Art Play is set to reopen on Sunday, February 9, 2025, in conjunction with the museum’s regularly scheduled Second Sunday Art Activity. Families in the Knoxville community are warmly invited to visit, explore, and enjoy this creative space with their children.

Located at 1050 World’s Fair Park Drive in downtown Knoxville, the museum is open Tuesday through Saturday (10:00 AM–5:00 PM) and Sunday (1:00–5:00 PM). Admission and parking are free. Learn more at www.knoxart.org.

Storyteller Laura Still helps you live the stories of pioneers, soldiers, outlaws, and even fictional characters who walked these streets before you.
