Winter/Spring Schedule 2007/08 [PDF]
Spring/Summer Schedule 2008 [PDF]
The Knoxville Arts and Fine Crafts Center is a specialty program of the City of Knoxville Parks and Recreation Department.

From the Center,

When we moved into our new facility last December I anticipated it would be a good location. I had no idea however, just how much the community would embrace us. The North Knoxville Business Association has been a wonderful partner as well as the Fourth and Gill Community. Since moving here, I’ve realized that North Knoxville is one of the best-kept secrets. We are conveniently located off the new Hall of Fame Drive on I-40, which is only 1 .4 miles from downtown Knoxville. There is little traffic to contend with and a great variety of restaurants to choose from following a class. I encourage you to slow down and make some special time for yourself this fall, enjoy one of our many quality classes offered at the craft center.
