On March 3, 4 and 5, I'll be participating in the Webb School of Knoxville annual art and craft show, ArtXtravaganza. From their website: "First and foremost, ArtXtravaganza is an art sale. Celebrating its 20th year, ArtXtravaganza is the school’s largest fundraiser and is regarded as one of the premier art shows in the Southeast. ArtXtravaganza is a juried show that features artworks by nearly 70 juried artists – from paintings, handcrafted jewelry and pottery to glass art, sculpture and wood – at a variety of price points. ArtXtravaganza showcases the amazing range and diversity of artistic talent in the region and beyond, reinforces Webb’s regard for arts education and appreciation, connects our community with local and regional artists, and supports the pursuit of creative expression. ArtXtravaganza is a celebration of art and community. It is our biggest fundraiser, and we welcome guests from all over the area to come and support these talented artists, while also helping to support Webb’s art department and other school programming. Seventy-five percent of each purchase goes directly to the artist. The remaining 25 percent of each purchase helps support the school’s visual and performing arts and other educational programming. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from ArtXtravaganza will help fund a supportive grant to a local organization providing arts education or access in the community. The organization is selected by the ArtXtravaganza Committee." One of the programs supported is the Artist in Residency Program. I was the recipient of this program in Spring of 2019. I grateful to have the opportunity to help support this and the other programs at the school. ArtXtravaganza 2023. March 3-5, 2023.
