Artists are encouraged to use their God given talents as therapy, to regain self-control and sufficiency.
“There is a gap [for] African-American artists here in Knoxville. . . I would like more exposure in the galleries. I would like more Black-owned galleries. My goal is to increase those numbers here in Knoxville.” ~ Jackie Holloway
