Hosted by the American Institute of Architects – East Tennessee Chapter, the Art Salon is a vibrant showcase of creativity that reaches far beyond the built environment. This annual exhibition celebrates the original works of architects, designers, students, emerging professionals, and allied collaborators throughout East Tennessee. Here, the region’s most inventive minds reveal another side of their talents: woven textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, expressive oil paintings, and custom-crafted musical instruments. The Art Salon is a rare opportunity to see how those who shape our spaces also shape culture, ideas, and artistry in unexpected forms.

Each year, a curated collection of submissions is unveiled during a First Friday opening, inviting the community to discover and celebrate the breadth of creativity within our profession.
