Building Specifications:

2013 Emporium Center for the Arts/100 Gay Street:
Site information for large scale work, 3D, and installation work.
In the floor plan of the lower gallery, there are 2 good installation areas: 1. The far end under the windows

2. The exact opposite end, behind "glass wall". This area is actually under the sidewalk, and is enclosed. It is like a zoo enclosure- visitors can't go back there, just look through the glass, and when it rains, it can drip, so only work that can handle moisture works out here. There is lighting.

The daylight filters down through the glass bricks during the day. Spots are placed according to need. The beam is useful for rigging support lines, though nothing that adds any significant stress.

 2012 installation under sidewalk, by Sher Fick: "Love, Honor, and "Obey?" fiber and mixed media

The upper gallery is visible from the lower though open staircase treads and balcony railings. Hanging 3D work can be installed dropping down through either side of the staircase. The horizontal white lines in the photos show where support beams or tension wires can be strung, and the vertical white lines show the drop area. Ideally, hanging work in this area should be fairly lightweight.

The Balcony itself is around 1,800 sq. feet, and has 5 movable 8' x 8' walls that can be configured for just about anything. The front of the Balcony is railings, and looks out into the street though huge windows, one side is partially open to the staircase and lower floor, and the rest is solid wall area except for one entrance door.
Online submittal for the exhibit is located at www.dogwoodarts.com/applications/

2012 Dogwood Regional Fine Art Exhibit

The  2012 Dogwood Regional Fine Art Exhibit was held in the two story gallery spaces of the Emporium Center for the Arts at 100 Gay Street in Downtown Knoxville during the month of April.The beautifully restored building is the anchor for the downtown art scene, and is managed by the Knoxville Arts and Culture Alliance. We had over 497 submissions from 188 artists in 7 states, and 77 Pieces by 68 artists were selected. Our juror this year was Terri Jordan,

 the curator of Exhibits at the Customs House Museum, Tennessee’s second largest general museum.  She is also President of the Tennessee Art League’s Board of Directors.  Jordan attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and has spent the last 17 years working with non-profit arts organizations and as a gallery curator.  As an artist, Terri has won numerous awards for her paintings and has been featured in galleries throughout the Southeast and New York.  Her work is in collections in Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, California, New York, North and South Carolina, Texas and England.  In 2003 the University of Georgia purchased four of her paintings for  their collection.                                               

Cash awards totaling $4,500.00 were presented at the exhibit’s Reception on April 6^th. Best in Show $2,000.00, $1,000.00 2nd, $500.00 third, two $250.00 Merit awards and one $500.00 award from Fast Frames of Knoxville.

Jennifer Baxter, (l) Dogwood Arts Project Manager, checks out the finished installation with Marie Herrbach, (c) and myself. Marie was my installation partner while she was exhibiting with Dogwood's international Nexus event. She flew over with her piece from France-cheaper than shipping!

Marie cleans the glass after we decide on lighting angles for Sher Fick's fiber wedding dress/straight jacket that was installed in a special gallery directly under the outside sidewalk. Additional light is provided though glass blocks in the sidewalk.

The University of Tennessee Culinary Institute sets up the reception food by a unicorn, woman, and Frosty Rankin's White Dogwood. The Regional has no theme, but there always seems to be at least one piece that has the presence of a dogwood!
