10 Years Doing What We Love

Opening Night: September 5, 5-9pm 
Artist Talks: September 12, 19, and 26, 5-8pm

This milestone exhibition, titled “We Are The Maker City: 10 Years Doing What We Love,” will be hosted at RED Gallery in Knoxville’s Historic Old City. It features artists, makers, and creative professionals who have been integral to this movement as members of the Mayor’s Maker Council. From sculptors to photographers, this show spotlights not only their artistry but also their profound impact on Knoxville’s identity, economy, and culture.

A visual celebration of past and present Mayor’s Maker Council members, curated by Chris McAdoo and The Maker City.

“As a lifelong artist, I know what it means to have a supportive community around you. The people in this show are the ones who make it work over the long haul…and Knoxville wouldn’t be where it is today without them.”
Chris McAdoo, Curator
