While local historians have always known that Knoxville had a strong art community in the late 19th and early 20th century, it has been more recent that several of these artists have become elevated to a new level of national attention. Among the well-known Knoxville artists are Anna Catherine Wiley, Charles Krutch, Thomas Campbell, Joseph Delaney and his brother Beauford Delaney, and Lloyd Branson. Lesser known, but also notable Knoxville artists, include Adelia Armstrong Lutz and James Wiley Wallace. The presentation will take place in Adelia’s beautiful custom art studio in Westwood and will offer a brief overview of local artists and their place in the current market for regional fine and decorative arts.
