Friday, May 1 -- a temporary installation by Hunt Clark, a 2009 KMA Contemporary Focus artist, at Fluorescent Gallery (627 N Central St, Knoxville).

Contemporary Focus is a new series of lectures, workshops, and
exhibitions dedicated to new, adventurous art being developed in
Knoxville. The inaugural lineup presents three artists who are
exploring a wide range of ideas across a range of media: Hunt Clark,
Patricia Tinajero, and David Wolff. Over the coming months, each
Contemporary Focus artist will develop artwork for a group exhibition
at the KMA, present lectures about their work, and host studio visits.
The series is designed to foster an ongoing conversation between
artists and the public.

The Knoxville Museum of Art is strongly committed to providing diverse
audiences with unique opportunities for learning and personal growth.
Contemporary Focus provides an important opportunity for artists in
Knoxville to engage a wider public and encourages interaction between
artists and their community.

Contemporary Focus is sponsored in part by the Tennessee Arts
Commission, Arts Builds Communities.
