Although the Center for the Arts is closed during the Corona virus pandemic, we recognize that we all need Art more than ever now.
We will offer online sales so you can still shop local and classes will be offered online, so be sure to visit often (virtually, that is). Scroll down for video tutorials that you can do at home. OUR NORMAL (NON PANDEMIC) HOURS ARE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY 10-5 AND SATURDAY 10-2 127 COLLEGE STREET, MOUNTAIN CITY, TENNESSEE | 423-460-3313 SHORT LIFE OF TROUBLE: THE LEGEND OF G.B. GRAYSON is a film that tells the long overdue story of a Johnson County legend.
Journeys II: Veterans was a project in which Tia Thomas photographed local Veterans. Veterans who were willing to share their stories were filmed by Germain Media. Full length interviews are in our archive and available for families to download at no cost.
This is a hi light film that shows excerpts from each of these powerful interviews. Thank to everyone who participated, and especially to Tennessee Arts Commission, East Tennessee Foundation, and Germain Media whose generous support made this project possible. |
