Sundress Academy for the Arts (SAFTA) has invited the public to the raising of its new barn at Firefly Farms, the home of SAFTA. The barn raising serves as a thank you to all of SAFTA’s donors from the last crowd-funding campaign and those who donated time and energy to build the barn. The event will feature barbeque, beer, and hayloft readings from local artists.

The barn raising party will take place on September 3, 2016 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 195 Tobby Hollow Lane in Knoxville.

The event is free for all of those who donated during the campaign. There is a suggested donation of $20 for all others. All food and drink will be provided by SAFTA.

The Sundress Academy for the Arts (SAFTA) is an artists' colony on a 45-acre farm in Knoxville, Tennessee, that hosts workshops, retreats, and residencies for writers, actors, filmmakers, and visual artists. All are guided by experienced, professional instructors from a variety of creative disciplines who are dedicated to cultivating the arts in Eastern Tennessee.
