SUMMARY:Cocktails & Conversation: Preserving Pasaquan
DESCRIPTION:Join the Knoxville Museum of Art for an engaging evening exploring the creation\, preservation\, and enduring legacy of Pasaquan\, the remarkable seven-acre visionary art environment created by self-taught artist Eddie Owens Martin\, known as St. EOM. \nOn Friday\, September 11\, preservationists Charles Fowler and Mike McFalls will take us deep into the Pines of Marion County\, Georgia\, to explore the story of Pasaquan—from St. EOM’s creation of this extraordinary artist-built environment in the 1950s to the ongoing efforts to preserve his visionary legacy for future generations. Under the stewardship of Columbus State University\, Pasaquan continues to thrive as a living work of art and a place for creative discovery. \nThe evening’s conversation offers a special opportunity to learn more about St. EOM and Pasaquan in connection with No-Man’s-Land\, currently on view at the KMA through November 8\, 2026. \nEnjoy a relaxed evening of conversation\, refreshments\, and a cash bar before and after the lecture. The lecture begins at 6:00 p.m. \n  \nAbout the Speakers: \nMike McFalls is a practicing artist\, professor of art\, and director of Pasaquan and the Bo Bartlett Center at Columbus State University.

He is vice president of the Art Built Environments Network and regularly lectures on St. EOM’s legacy and the cultural significance of Pasaquan at museums\, universities\, conferences\, and arts organizations across the country and internationally. \nCharles Fowler is Project Coordinator of Pasaquan.
