Explore Our Website Additions
From Grace Robinson, Public Information and Research Coordinator —
The website redesign was officially finished in April, 2015. However, since we are constantly trying to offer a more user friendly experience and to provide an ever-widening network of resources for all of our visitors, we’d like to point out a few updates. Moving across the main toolbar, we’ll move left to right. 
- Hours & Location — Here you can find details on when the office and gallery are open (and closed), as well as the address and parking directions.
- Arts & Economic Impact Study — Americans for the Arts (AFTA) is preparing to launch Arts & Economic Prosperity V (AEP5), a national study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry. The Tennessee Arts Commission has signed on to be a statewide partner. On this page you can read more about the study, TN’s local partners and read the project schedule.
- Upcoming Exhibits list — There is a new resource on the Visual Arts/Craft/Media Design program page. This list shows the upcoming exhibitions that will be in the TN Arts Commission Gallery. Remember, this is a free gallery and open to the public Mon.–Fri. 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. After clicking on this program, the resources are listed in the light blue box found on the bottom of the page.
- Creative Opportunities — Another new resource, use this page to see calls for artists, calls for awards, grant openings and job openings that are available in TN or to Tennesseans. Organizations can also submit any opportunities that fall under these categories here.
- Past Governor’s Arts Awards — See images of the past awards made especially to be given to recipients for the Tennessee Governor’s Arts Awards. After clicking on the “2015 Governor’s Arts Awards” tab, there will be a green box at the top of the page, click “View previous awards” to see the archived images.
- 2016 Statewide Conference — The Commission is combining the former Create education institute with the statewide arts convention for the first time June 7-10, 2016 — bringing together arts administrators, educators and artists in a new way. This page provides more information on the conference, it’s location and links to the session proposal guidelines.
