100 Years of Black Craft in Tennessee

Welcome to our collaborative and growing project–a series of exhibitions and community engagements featuring Black artists active in the state of Tennessee from 1920 to 2020.

Here you can visit past, current, and future exhibitions, learn more about our scholars and partners, add your suggestions, and–most importantly–explore Tennessee’s talented Black artists from the past century.

Use the search bar at the top to identify artists by name, region, city, or medium. Currently, only artists from the first exhibition have individual posts, but come back for more soon!
