ON EXHIBIT - 2011

The Knoxville Arts & Fine Crafts Center will host an exhibition of artwork by artist Sarah B. Weber this fall! Sarah focuses on painting animals, wild and tamed, which allows us to enjoy a bit of nature, up close, before it wanders away. Her attention to detail is remarkable as well as her ability to capture the "essence" of her subjects with focus on the eyes. These wonderful paintings will be on display October through December.

From the Center,

Knoxville Arts and Fine Crafts
Center is excited to welcome Kara
Pritchard to our staff. Kara is a
certified Kindermusik educator and
will be teaching both infant and toddler
classes beginning in August.
Kindermusik with Adventures of
Movement is her registered name.
Kara will be teaching Village for
newborns through eighteen months
and Our Time designed for toddlers
ages nineteen months to three and a
half. Kara has a passion for teaching
and truly wants to inspire, as she
was inspired watching her daughter
blossom and bloom within the Kindermusik
family. Kara invites you
and your little ones to join her on a
musically developmental adventure.
This fall Sarah Weber is our featured
artist. On exhibit from October
through December you can view
Sarah’s oil paintings which delicately
capture her love and respect for
nature. Along with her original
works of art, Sarah will have note
cards and prints available to purchase.
We also offer badge workshops
for scouts, birthday parties for all ages and fitness classes in both
yoga and Zumba. Whether you’re
pursuing a new hobby or looking
to perfect an art form, we offer a
variety of interesting classes from
which to choose.

Hope to See You!
