Our Future

---

One of our priorities is to have a central home in Monroe County to cover the East Tennessee region. Organizing and supporting visual fine arts programs for children and adults within the community with workshops, classes, a meeting room, a retail store, and an exhibition gallery to display arts from children, schools, artists, art organizations, patrons, and all residents to experience and appreciate the visual creative talents of the community.  Our long-term goals are to support schools, children, college students, and adults with art shows, arts, and craft festivals, artist-in-residence, artist studios space, library, conference room, and event center.  

The East Tennessee Arts Center provides Pop-Up Art Camps to all people living in East Tennessee, we provide all the equipment and supplies for participants to enjoy drawing and painting. We have organized Pop-Up Art Camps in Sweetwater, Madisonville, Tellico Plains, Vonore, and in Loudon.

We are Working on Creative Art Activity Kits for children who are experiencing emotional issues, who are homeless, in foster care, and who have disabilities working with other nonprofit organizations in the East Tennessee Area. 

These Creativity Art Kits will be provided to children who have or are experiencing traumatic situations to relieve them of their situations. The art kits will be provided free of charge to area nonprofits who work with children who may have been displaced and are in temporary housing. These Creativity Art Kits contain all types of pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, crayons, markers, ruler, a sketch book, stickers, and a variety of activity books, all contained in a lightweight backpack. Each Creativity Art Kit cost $30,00 each.

Please help us and sponsor a Creativity Art Kit for children. donations large and small will be used exclusively for this community outreach program.
