SUMMARY:Wayne White: Revenge of the Knoxville Girl - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Schedule: \n6:30-7:30 pm Artist Talk \n7:30-8:30 pm Exhibition Opens \nHors d’oeuvres + Cash Bar \n  \nWayne White is a multi-faceted artist\, illustrator\, and musician who has charted a kaleidoscopic path through multiple frontiers of art and culture. From early life in Chattanooga and Emmy award-winning work as Art Director for Pee Wee’s Playhouse\, to orchestrating music videos for Peter Gabriel and The Smashing Pumpkins\, White traverses the pop culture landscape. The Revenge of the Knoxville Girl is an eclectic survey show that convenes an array of White’s Word Paintings\, sketchbooks\, small sculpture\, and papier-mâché heads. It will also feature a monumentally scaled pair of puppets that provide a stage for the beleaguered Knoxville Girl of murder ballad notoriety to return and stand triumphant. \nThis show is presented in collaboration with the Big Ears Festival and is part of the 2026 edition of the Tennessee Triennial. \nArtist Bio: \nWayne White is an American artist\, art director\, illustrator\, & puppeteer. Born and raised in Chattanooga\, Wayne has used his memories of the South to create inspired works for film\, television\, and the fine art world. After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University\, Wayne traveled to New York City where he worked as an illustrator for the East Village Eye\, New York Times\, Raw Magazine\, and the Village Voice. In 1986\, Wayne became a designer for the hit television show Pee-wee’s Playhouse\, and his work was awarded with three Emmys. After traveling to Los Angeles with his wife\, Mimi Pond\, Wayne continued to work in television and designed sets and characters for shows such as Shining Time Station\, Beakman’s World\, Riders In The Sky\, and Bill & Willis. He also worked in the music video industry\, winning Billboard and MTV Music Video Awards as an art director for seminal music videos including The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Tonight\, Tonight’ and Peter Gabriel’s ‘Big Time.’ \nSince 2000\, Wayne has shown his paintings\, sculptures and installations in over 40 exhibitions worldwide. His work was chronicled in the Todd Oldham designed 2009 monograph\, “Maybe Now I’ll Get The Respect I So Rightfully Deserve”. In 2012\, he was the subject of the documentary “Beauty is Embarrassing” His children\, Woodrow and Lulu\, are both working artists. \nMimi and Wayne live in LA and make art everyday.

SUMMARY:The Body is a Drum\, The Voice a Song\, The Soul a Fire Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:5:30 pm Members Only Hour\n5:45 pm Artist Dialogue with Tabatha Arnold and Dianna Settles\nModerated by KMA Assistant Curator Kelsie Conley\n6:30 pm Reception Opens to Non-Members\n7:00 pm + 8:00 pm Performances by The Knox Honkers and Bangers\nA Program Under Cattywampus Puppet Council\nHors d’oeuvres from Real Good Kitchen + Cupcakes from Magpies Bakery\nCash Bar + Specialty Beverage\n\nABOUT THE EXHIBITION—\nThe Body is a Drum\, The Voice a Song\, The Soul a Fire  brings together the work of Tabitha Arnold\, Dianna Settles\, and Lewis Hine— artists who call attention to the lives shaped by labor: its intimacies\, its struggles\, its persistence. Arnold’s tapestries weave together a history of labor movements in the Southeast\, Settles’ paintings reveal the collective heartbeat where everyday life and organizing work meet\, and Hine’s photographs capture the daily realities and inequities of industrial labor in early 20th-century East Tennessee. The exhibition draws from the audio archives of the Highlander Center\, a wellspring of resistance that has preserved the music and voices of labor organizers\, civil rights leaders\, and the people who built this country with their hands. These images and sounds\, both past and present\, are not just records of labor\, but testaments to the histories that shape us still. \nFREE and open to the public! \nIMAGE (LEFT TO RIGHT): Dianna Settles\, Hundredth Repetition\, After High Noon\, 2025\, acrylic and colored pencil on panel\, 24 x 32 inches; Dianna Settles\, Hundredth Repetition\, After High Noon\, 2025\, acrylic and colored pencil on panel\, 24 x 32 inches; Lewis Hine photographs are courtesy of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) on permanent loan to the Hunter Museum of American Art\, Chattanooga\, Tennessee; Tabitha Arnold\, Mill Town\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Seeds of Regionalism Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Members Only Hour\, 5:30 pm\nGallery Talk with John L. Sanders\, FAIA\, 5:45 pm\nReception Opens to Non-Members\, 6:30 pm\nLive Music Performance\, 6:30-8:00 pm\n(Ryan Dunaway – Fiddle\, George Colyer – Mandolin\, Colleen d’Alelio – Cello)\nFood by Mama Lana’s Kitchen + Cash Bar + Specialty Beverage \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION—\nSeeds of Regionalism\, The Clauss Legacy: Early Modernism in the South excavates the unheralded legacy of Alfred and Jane West Clauss\, who\, in 1939\, created the first modern deed-restricted subdivision in America-known colloquially in Knoxville as “Little Switzerland.” In the process\, the Clausses laid the groundwork for what we now recognize as regional modernism. \nThrough original artifacts—including photographs\, drawings\, posters\, furniture\, graphic maps\, home videos\, and timelines—the exhibition traces the DNA of this architectural subdivision and explores how the Clausses’ move to East Tennessee inspired them to experiment with blending modernist ideas with local traditions and a strong sense of place. \nFREE and open to the public! \n\n \n\nOrganized by the Knoxville Museum of Art in conjunction with John L. Sanders\, FAIA w/ Sanders Pace Architecture and Richard-Allen Foster\, AIA w/ FOSTERiNG CREATiVE.\nImage: Clauss Cabin (1940)\, House F\, 428 Little Switzerland Road
