April 6, 2012 – March 8, 2013

Founded in 2007 by Edward Mannis and Bart Watkins, Art in Public Places Knoxville began as a dream between two friends who were also Board Members of Dogwood Arts. Both men are avid appreciators and collectors of art. Through their travels they had seen impressive public art work exhibited in cities throughout the country and recognized its transformative power to express the soul of a city, enliven the streetscape, and contribute to civic pride. They also believed that large-scale, outdoor art work helped identify a place as an arts destination, thus supporting the entire creative culture of that city. So, why not Knoxville?

Today, no matter whether you are one of the 2.5 million residents and visitors passing through the McGhee Tyson Airport, or the 13 million that LIVE, WORK, and PLAY in downtown Knoxville throughout the year, your path will be graced by masterful sculptures by contemporary artists showing in Dogwood Arts’ featured exhibition, Art In Public Places Knoxville. The exhibition presently on view, an interesting and inspirational collection of works by sculptors from the Southeast region and from across the nation, was selected and awarded by internationally acclaimed sculptor, John Henry.

Where: Downtown Knoxville and McGhee Tyson Airport
When: April 6, 2012-March 8, 2013
How Much: Free
Opening Reception: Friday, April 6, 5:00 – 9:00 pm at Nouveau Classics [128 South Gay Street, Knoxville, TN 37902]
Award Ceremony: Friday, April 6, 5:30 pm

We are honored to announce noted performance sculptor and curator, Allen Peterson, presently at SCAD-Atlanta, as the Juror for the 2012-2013 exhibition! Allen Peterson’s work spans the disciplines of sculpture, performance, printmaking and public art, united by themes of the systems and interconnections at play all around us. Having curatorial expertise in a bevy of acclaimed academic sculptural exhibitions in Universities around the Southern United States, Peterson has also exhibited extensively in galleries, universities and museums across the country. He enjoys working collaboratively with a wide variety of artists in various performance works, including sculptors, dancers, choreographers, theatre directors, set designers, video artists, composers, musicians, pyrotechnics experts, his students and his mentors. Peterson received awards for excellence in art from the University of Minnesota, where he earned his Master’s of Fine Arts, and from Birmingham-Southern College where he earned his B.F.A. in 1994. He has been awarded Juror’s Awards in various juried shows at venues such as the Magic City Art Connection in Birmingham, AL, in 2001, and the Alternative Arts Alliance of Denver, CO, in 1994.
