Strength in numbers: Connecting the art communities in TN's major cities

Carri and Brian Jobe are launching LOCATE Arts, a state-wide initiative that will connect the arts communities in Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Memphis.

First, it will launch an exhibition listing site that will centralize a selection of arts events in the four cities. The website will provide a unified face of Tennessee that will integrate artists, galleries, and museums state-wide.

Second, LOCATE Arts will put on a Tennessee Biennial that will work toward strengthening the state’s arts identity.

“I love the idea of being aware of what’s happening in the rest of the state. I hear murmurings, but they’re few. Imagine loading up a car with other art lovers and barreling to Memphis for a weekend of gallery hopping and studio visits? Rad” says reporter Erica Ciccarone of NYCnash.
