Deaf Night at the KMA welcomes Knoxville’s Deaf Community to an open house at the museum. Join us for an exclusive evening exploring the KMA’s current exhibitions— Jo Sandman/TRACES, Currents: Contemporary Art from the KMA Collection, Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee, Cycle of Life: Within the Power of Dreams and the Wonder of Infinity, Facets of Modern and Contemporary Glass, and the Thorne Rooms. Accessible tours will be given throughout the evening, and KMA docents accompanied by student interpreters from the University of Tennessee and the community will be available in the galleries. Enjoy an evening of light refreshments, learning about the art, interactive and accessible activities with friends and family.
