Professor of Art Lisa Flanary will have her solo exhibition in Knoxville at the Emporium.

The opening reception is on Friday, Feb. 4, from 5–9 p.m. The show will be in the lower gallery from Feb. 4 through Feb. 26, 2022. “East Tennessee is very different from the rest of the state; it is culturally and geographically part of Appalachia. Here, modern life and the traditions of the early Scottish and Irish settlers often intertwine,” Flanary says in her opening statement. The Emporium is open to the public Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. Assistant Professor of Art Heather Hartman Folks was work exhibited in the William G. Squires Library Gallery at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. Her exhibit includes 16 mixed media paintings that offer a sensation of memory, longing, and existential awareness outside of precise time or location. “These paintings are composites of images collected from my daily surroundings, combined and reimagined as an attempt to grapple with larger questions of ecology and mutability,” she said. The exhibit entitled ‘These Resplendent Days’ runs through the end of March. Hartman is also in a group exhibition at Channel-to-Channel Gallery in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which runs until March 28. Professor of Art David Underwood prepares for his solo exhibition at the Delaplaine Arts Center, in Fredrick, Maryland. His exhibit will include a number of artworks made during the ongoing_pandemic. His work will be displayed from Saturday, Feb. 5 until Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022. “Each artwork includes photography, readable text, and other mixed-media materials such as painting, drawing, and assemblage,” he said.
