Join us in celebrating the 21st Annual East Tennessee Regional Student Art Exhibition, presented by the Knoxville Museum of Art.

This annual exhibition provides the opportunity for students to participate in a juried exhibition and to have their artworks displayed in a professional art museum environment. We are so delighted by the quality of the artworks, the dedication of the teachers, and the commitment of the museum staff to establish a museum and school tradition for our community.
