A part of the Arts & Heritage Fund, the Bailey Opportunity Grants provide financial and technical support to individual artists and small, professionally-oriented arts and culture organizations. The grants are designed to spur continued artistic and administrative growth in innovative, entrepreneurial artists and organizations at any stage in their development. These fourteen artists have utilized their collective $42,000+ for local, regional, and national workshops, studio time, technical equipment, and more.
The exhibition is on display at the Emporium Center, 100 S. Gay Street, in downtown Knoxville. Exhibition hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Arts & Culture Alliance at (865) 523-7543, or visit the website at www.knoxalliance.com.
