Statement of Purpose
The Arts & Culture Alliance developed its National Juried Exhibition to provide a forum for artists to compete on a national scale and display their work. Forty-three fine art works encompassing all styles and genres from both emerging and established artists have been selected by the juror, Raymond Patron, for exhibition in the Balcony gallery of the beautifully-restored Emporium Center at 100 S. Gay Street, Knoxville’s downtown arts anchor location, from February 1-22, 2019. Raymond Padron provided this statement about the exhibition:

“These selections well represent the great diversity of work submitted to the National Juried Exhibition for 2019. Although each work is distinct in subject, medium and technique, I see a clear connection between them all. Each one compels us, in one way or another, to take a deeper, more sustained look. Not just at the artwork present, but at ourselves, others, and the world we inhabit.“
