We are excited to celebrate our 25th anniversary!

We are thrilled to be celebrating our twenty-fifth birthday this year! Averaging twelve to fifteen exhibitions each year, we have presented more than three hundred exhibitions representing various cultures and traditions ranging from the art of Tennessee to the myths of Japan. We’ve also highlighted the work of individual artists, who have made an incredible impact on society and our own lives.
