Enjoy a day of golf, fun, food and cash prizes at Arrowmont’s Mountain Strong: 9th Annual Golf Tournament – Saturday, September 28, 2019.

Benefiting Arrowmont’s educational programs, the golf tournament supports Sevier County art programs including adult and children’s community classes, local resident scholarships and ArtReach.

This year the Tournament will be honoring Arrowmont friend and supporter, Barbara Huff Beville Dillenger. Barbara’s relationship with Arrowmont goes back several generations. In 1912, her family helped raise money to purchase the land that is now Arrowmont’s campus. Two generations later in 2014, Barbara and her sisters were significant donors to the campaign to purchase the campus and secure Arrowmont for the community.

Friday, October 18, 2019 from 6-8 pm

Artists and makers are consistently seeking innovative approaches to traditional craft practices; creating work that is historically conscious, while resonating with newer audiences, younger makers and current issues. It is important now more than ever to examine our histories with a fresh lens in order to forge new paths and make room for new voices and perspectives, while recognizing the significance of those histories.

Bridging the Gap: Contemporary Craft Practices aims to recognize artists less than 35 years of age who are making significant strides in their craft in bold and diverse ways.

Join us for the reception in the Sandra J. Blain Galleries from 6-8pm. The reception is free and open to the public.
