SUMMARY:On a Mission: KMA Collectors Circle Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition features a variety of works of art that have become the core of the KMA’s contemporary holding by artists such as Bessie Harvey\, Sarah Hobbs\, William Morris\, Nancy Rubins\, Robert Stackhouse\, Robert Van Vranken\, Andrew Saftel\, Brad Sells\, Darren Waterston\, William T. Wiley\, and others. \nFormed in 1995\, Collectors Circle is a special KMA membership group that helps support the museum’s purchase of works of art. Collectors Circle has been vital to the growth of the KMA collection\, especially in the absence of an acquisitions endowment. Each year the group gathers for the Purchase Reception\, during which members consider several works of art earmarked by the museum. Following lively discussion\, the group votes on the work(s) of its choice and those are then purchased using funds established by the group’s membership dues. \nFor more information about Collectors Circle and how to join\, please contact Margo Clark at 865.525.6101 x223 or mclark@knoxart.org. \nFor more photographs of the exhibition\, click here.

SUMMARY:Tradition/Innovation: American Masterpieces of Southern Craft & Traditional Art
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is organized by the Southern Arts Federation (SAF) in conjunction with American Masterpieces\, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts. More than 100 works in a variety of media- clay\, glass\, fiber\, metal\, wood\, paper and mixed media- by 60 artists from the SAF’s nine partner states: Alabama\, Mississippi\, Florida\, North Carolina\, Georgia\, South Carolina\, Kentucky\, Tennessee\, and Louisiana. \nThe master artists represented in the exhibition were selected because of their role as conduits for process and inspiration\, as they influence other generations of artists working within the region and beyond. Artworks will be accompanied by a rich array of artist interviews\, stories\, and background information on the artists and their processes. \nThe South is home to numerous traditional art forms that continue to be practiced within families and communities throughout the region. Traditional visual arts- such as basket-making\, pottery\, instrument making\, quilting and woodcarving- are usually deep-rooted\, reflect a community aesthetic and often experience a slow evolution. Contemporary craft in the South possesses its own rich history beginning with the folk school movement in the early 1900s. Over the years\, artists and artisans have been drawn to this region to learn and practice their chosen art forms. These artists create a broad scope of crafts that include glass\, pottery\, woodcarving and textiles. Together\, the featured objects reveal important traditions and techniques passed from generation to generation\, but also the way in which highly innovative artists bring new ideas to a tradition and in turn influence their peers and generations to come. \nTradition/Innovation: American Masterpieces of Southern Craft & Traditional Art is a project of the Southern Arts Federation\, and is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts\, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. \nCheck out the Tradition/Innovation website here.

SUMMARY:Mary Lee Bendolph\, Gee's Bend Quilts and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The focused exhibition\, Mary Lee Bendolph\, Gee’s Bend Quilts and Beyond\, and its accompanying full-color\, scholarly catalogue\, examine Bendolph’s inspiration and creative process\, as well as her profound connection to the cultural practices and expressive traditions from which her work arises. Twelve dramatically designed\, richly colored\, improvisational quilts created by Mary Lee Bendolph and her family members—her mother Aolar Mosely\, her daughter Essie B. Pettway\, and her daughter-in-law Louisiana P. Bendolph—are presented alongside complex and evocative found object sculptures by noted African American self-taught artist Thornton Dial and visionary “yard art” artist Lonnie Holley. Both of these Alabama-based artists have been influenced by the quilts and the quiltmakers of Gee’s Bend. Intaglio prints by Mary Lee Bendolph and her daughter-in-law Louisiana P. Bendolph\, along with documentary films about all of the artists provide further context for their creative exchange. As the deep social and aesthetic networks of these six artists intersect\, they give rise to new pathways of artistic influence\, resulting in a powerful mixture of communal and individual creative energies. \nMary Lee Bendolph\, Gee’s Bend Quilts and Beyond is organized by the Austin Museum of Art and Tinwood Media. The Knoxville Museum of Art will be the only Southern venue for this important exhibition. \nThis exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Frank and Virginia Rogers Foundation\, the Friends of the Quilts: David Butler and Ted Smith\, Linda and Pete Claussen\, Sylvia and Jan Peters and the Kroger Company. \nFor more photographs from this exhibition\, click here. \n  \nAdditional Resources:\nMary Lee Bendolph: Gees Bend Quilts and Beyond  \nMary Lee Bendolph Lecture
