The Arts & Culture Alliance seeks proposals for exhibitions in the Emporium Center’s two largest galleries for the 2025-2026 exhibition season.

The Emporium Center is open to single artists or groups of artists living within 250 miles of Knoxville. While there is no fee to submit a proposal, exhibition fees do apply and financial assistance toward the cost of exhibition fees and expenses may be available.

The Alliance is open to all genre and media, embracing the wide scope of visual arts, including painting, watercolor, pastel, drawing, sculpture in any medium, jewelry, collage, printmaking, photography and digital media. All art must be original and created by the artist

Proposals will be juried by an anonymous panel of volunteers with a broad range of expertise in visual art.

Artists may find more information, a document of helpful application tips, and the online application form here.
