Awards Reception 20th Annual East Tennessee Regional Student Art Exhibition

Celebrate 20 years of Student Art!

Welcome to the 20th Annual East Tennessee Regional Student Art Exhibition, presented by the Knoxville Museum of Art. The ETRSAE showcases the strength and diversity of art education programs in East Tennessee, celebrates talented middle and high school students, and supports arts education. This annual exhibition provides the opportunity for students to participate in a juried exhibition and to have their artworks displayed in a professional art museum environment. We are so delighted by the quality of the artworks, the dedication of the teachers, and the commitment of the museum staff to establish a museum and school tradition for our community.

As part of the 20th Annual East Tennessee Regional Student Art Exhibition, we will have a special exhibition of the Best in Show works from past exhibitions from Jim Dodson’s personal collection.
