Abstract

"Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee traces the evolution of artistic activity in Knoxville and its Appalachian environs from roughly the 1860s to the 1980s. Many of the featured artists spent their entire lives and careers in the area, while some moved away to follow their creative ambitions. Others came from outside the region, attracted by its natural beauty. Together, these artists' works form the basis of a visual arts tradition that is both compelling and largely unheralded. Higher Ground, the KMA's flagship permanent exhibition celebrating the richness and diversity of East Tennessee's visual culture, was reimagined in the museum's newly renovated entrance level galleries in the fall of 2023. The exhibition and accompanying 300 page catalog are organized into broad thematic sections that follow the period of Knoxville's development into a vital commercial and cultural hub, from the emergence of the first professional arts community to the establishment of the area's first major arts institutions"--https://knoxart.org/exhibitions/higher-ground-a-century-of-the-visual-arts-in-east-tennessee, accessed February 27, 2024
