The Art of Our History
Athens Arts Center
The Athens Area Council for the Arts proudly announces “The Art of Our History”, a juried art competition and exhibit. All works are to depict persons, places or events that are a part of McMinn County, Tennessee history and may be two- or three-dimensional.
The goal of this juried art show is to heighten awareness and appreciation of our history through artistic expression. The competition is open to anyone regardless of artistic experience or expertise and all have been encouraged to enter.
Another feature of this exhibit is the opportunity for school and community groups to make reservations for a field trip to The Arts Center. A guided tour of the exhibit, an original performance piece by local actors, and a related hands-on art activity are all included in the $2/person fee. This opportunity is available on selected dates throughout the duration of the exhibit. Call (423) 745-8781 for more information or to make reservations.
Free Admission
The Arts Center is open Mon-Fri from 10am until 5pm
For more information, contact Athens Area Council for the Arts; 423-745-8781
