KNOXVILLE – Artists 18 years and older who live in any of the 33 East Tennessee counties, are invited to enter the next “Arts in the Airport.” This juried exhibition is design to allow regional artists to compete and display their work in McGhee Tyson Airport, the most visited site in the area.

The exhibition was developed by the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville and the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (McGhee Tyson Airport).

Approximately 40-45 fine art works encompassing all styles and genres from both emerging and established artists will comprise the exhibition in the secured area behind McGhee Tyson Airport’s security gate checkpoint from April 17 - October 8, 2014.

The deadline for entries to be received is Sunday, March 9, 2014.

Each artist may submit up to five entries which must be original works in the following categories: 2-D (painting, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, photography) and 3-D (sculpture of all media). Giclees are ineligible. The nonrefundable entry fee is $30 for up to five works (free for Arts & Culture Alliance members). The $30 entry fee includes a six-month membership in the Arts & Culture Alliance. Apply online and/or download an application at www.knoxalliance.com/airport_entry.html, or send an SASE to Suzanne Cada, Arts & Culture Alliance, PO Box 2506, Knoxville, TN 37901. Prizes include $1,000 in cash awards.

Jeffrey Morton, professor of art at Covenant College, will jury the exhibition. More information about the program, as well as images of the current exhibition, can be found at www.knoxalliance.com/airport.html.

“Arts in the Airport” is sponsored by McGhee Tyson Airport and Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville.
