The Sevier County Biennial Exhibition is a juried, mixed media art exhibition presented by Arrowmont to recognize and foster the skills and talents of artists and craftspeople who call the region of Sevier County home.  Juror Sarah Stanley will select the work and awards for this year’s exhibit.

Sarah Stanley is the Curator at the William King Museum of Art in Abingdon, VA where she oversees exhibitions of regional decorative arts, fine art, and craft. Sarah holds an MA from Bard Graduate Center (New York, NY) in Decorative Art, Design History, and Material Culture and a BA in Art History from The College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA). Prior to getting her Master’s degree, Sarah worked as an apprentice weaver at Colonial Williamsburg. This experience emphasized the importance of hands-on learning and solidified her interest in craft history and contemporary craft.
