SUMMARY:The Bikeriders Screening at Central Cinema
DESCRIPTION:A continuing collaboration with Central Cinema! \nLocation: Central Cinema\, 1205 N Central St\, Knoxville\, TN 37917 \nABOUT THE FILM—\nThe Bikeriders (2023) is a crime drama directed by Jeff Nichols starring Jodie Comer\, Austin Butler\, Tom Hardy\, and Michael Shannon. Inspired by the photo book of the same title by Danny Lyon\, the film depicts the lives of the Vandals Motorcycle Club\, a fictional version of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. Danny Lyon\, portrayed in the film by Mike Faist\, spent years embedded in the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. From 1963 to 1967 Lyon documented the club and captured a fascinating and popular body of work. \nIn 1967 Lyon stopped by the small town of Knoxville\, Tennessee to visit the birthplace of one of his idols\, James Agee\, while on his way to New Orleans. Lyon had only intended to make a short visit to Agee’s hometown\, but enamored by the city and people of Knoxville\, he ended up staying for days and produced what he said\, at that point\, had been his most productive and prolific 5 days of photography. \nA selection of those 1967 Knoxville photographs is currently on view in the ongoing KMA exhibition\, Higher Ground. “Finding Higher Ground” is an ongoing series of events intended to expand upon the historical exhibition and catalog Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee. The KMA’s Higher Ground spotlight exhibition Raking Light: Photographs of East Tennessee and the American South celebrates the growth of the KMA’s photography collection through the recent acquisition of works documenting the region’s shifting social landscape. It also attests to the richness of East Tennessee’s photographic history\, a history shaped by outstanding local artistic talent\, influential artists with ties to the area\, and visiting photographers drawn here by an abundance of compelling subject matter. This Higher Ground spotlight exhibition will be on view through April 12\, 2026. \nMembers: FREE | Non-members: $5

SUMMARY:TRASHFORMATION by A1LabArts
DESCRIPTION:“Trashformation\,” chosen by A1 members as the theme for this show\, suggests many creative possibilities: using trash as art material\, portraying trash (and its formation/transformation) as subject matter\, as well as using the idea of “trashformation” as commentary\, as allegory or metaphor\, as a challenge\, or just as a starting point from which to proceed elsewhere. Artists here have addressed it in various ways and to various degrees\, with some A1 members creating items for a collectively made “garden.” Juried by Jason Brown\, Professor\, University of Tennessee School of Art. \nFeaturing work by:\nJohn Allen\, Robert Batey\, Richard Bennett\, Vanessa Black\, Neranza Noel Blount\, Heather Bosau\, Kimberly Brown\, Maggie Connolly\, Yvonne Dalschen\, Drew Ellis\, Susie Feinberg\, Kelly Ferguson\, Chrissy Fowler\, Joyce Gralak\, Jessica Gregory\, Annamaria Gundlach\, Pam Harris\, Jean Hess\, Ame Houston\, Leslie Hymel\, Stacy Jacobs\, Andreas Koschan\, Merry Koschan\, Hsiu-Yi Lai\, Sandy Lee\, David Liles\, Lana Lindorfer\, Kayla Lingerfelt\, Shelley Mangold\, Mary Nietling\, Richard Olowoyo\, Hei Park\, Elizabeth Porter\, Kathy Seely\, Eric Sherwood\, Jennifer Simon\, Manderly Swain\, Wendi Tang\, Emily Taylor\, Bob Thompson\, Bev Tomov\, Steven Varga\, and Ariel Woods \nEXHIBITION-RELATED PROGRAMS:\nReception I Sunday\, February 22\, 2:00-4:00 pm \nABOUT A1LABARTS—\nA1LabArts actively participates and develops arts venues in Knoxville by its working board and member volunteers. \n\nDevelop educational events and activities including\, but not limited to\, presentations\, lectures\, seminars\, forums and published text materials that introduce community audiences to contemporary forms of art.\nA1LabArts actively participates and develops arts venues in Knoxville by its working board and volunteers through various committees.\n​Provide opportunities for community artists to showcase their works.\nEstablish new and appreciative audiences for interdisciplinary arts in order to support the works of interactive artists throughout the community\nAct as clearing house through which artists can advertise their works and contact other artists throughout the country.\n\nLearn more at www.a1labarts.com. \nA1LabArts\, Inc.\, a Tennessee nonprofit corporation\, is a Knoxville-based\, artists’ group with a 30-year history of encouraging creativity and community.

SUMMARY:The Body is a Drum\, The Voice a Song\, The Soul a Fire
DESCRIPTION:Labor is more than work; it is an act of care. It binds people not just through toil\, but through collective action. On the factory floor\, at the loom\, along the picket line—these are spaces where effort meets empathy\, where shared struggle becomes a living record\, a force\, a song. This exhibition 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. \nEXHIBITION-RELATED PROGRAMS:\nThe Body is a Drum\, The Voice a Song\, The Soul a Fire Opening Reception I Thursday\, November 6\, 5:30-8:30 pm\nMorristown: in the air and sun Screening at Central Cinema I Wednesday\, December 3\, 6:00-7:30 pm\nPunch Needle Embroidery with Tabitha Arnold | Saturday\, December 6\, 10:00 am-1:00 pm\nThe Voice a Song: Oral Histories and Songs of Labor and Community in East Tennessee | Saturday\, January 31\, 2:00-3:30 pm\nSparky and Rhonda Rucker at the Laurel Theater | Saturday\, February 7\, 8:00-10:00 pm\n \nPresented by Molly and Bob Joy.

SUMMARY:Cocktails & Conversation with John Sanders
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Cocktails & Conversation with John Sanders as he shares his discovery\, passion\, and restoration of the Little Switzerland neighborhood through the exhibition Seeds of Regionalism. Sanders was attending the University of Tennessee as an architecture student when he first became aware of the neighborhood of modern regionalism homes built in South Knoxville by Alfred and Jane West Clauss in the 1930s and 40s. Today\, these restored homes carry on the legacy of modern regionalism in the South. \nCocktails & Conversation is a casual lecture and discussion series that explores the art and artist of the KMA collection and temporary exhibitions. Enjoy a cocktail while you learn from artists\, curators\, historians\, and community leaders on a variety of art media and styles. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER—\nJOHN LYNCH SANDERS\, FAIA\nLEED AP PRINCIPAL-IN-CHARGE + FOUNDING PARTNER SANDERS PACE ARCHITECTURE \nJohn is a founding partner of Sanders Pace Architecture\, created in 2002 primarily for a focus on design opportunities within Knoxville’s urban core and its immediate surrounding neighborhoods. His passion for design can be seen on the challenging projects that he and his firm have been involved within those areas. John’s work is meaningful\, creative\, and inspirational.

He has served and chaired on several chapter design award juries and in 2015 and 2019 served as co-chair of the AIA Tennessee State Convention. During his tenures on the AIA East Tennessee and AIA Tennessee Chapters’ Board\, Mr. Sanders was integral in creating and implementing a new licensee program to recognize the accomplishments of emerging professionals at local and state levels and formally celebrating the milestone of licensure and they have become a signature part of his region and state design awards programs. John continues to chair the Programming Committee for AIA East Tennessee where he leads the programming efforts for the Design Feed Lecture Series. John is a graduate of the University of Tennessee where he has served as an Adjunct Lecturer. He continues to participate as an invited studio critic and juror for the College of Architecture and Design. \nJohn was elevated to the AIA College of Fellows in 2018 in recognition of his contributions to the profession and was awarded the AIA East Tennessee Gold Medal in 2024 along with SPA founding partner\, Brandon F.

SUMMARY:Dine & Discover with Avigail Sachs
DESCRIPTION:Join us on your lunch break for a discussion on the Clauss Family Legacy with Avigail Sachs\, Professor and Interim Associate Dean for Research\, College of Architecture and Design at the University of Tennessee. Sachs will share her discoveries on the life and work of Jane West Clauss that she found during her research for a biography in The Collection of Women of the 20th Century American Architecture.

She is especially interested in the relationship between design and research and the role of each in the formation of the design disciplines and professions. In 2019\, she published a biography of Jane West Clauss as part The Collection of Women of the 20th Century American Architecture\, which is supported by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation and the National Endowment of the Arts.
