Kingsport Art Crawl to showcase talents of local artists

Kingsport Cultural Arts is pleased to announce a downtown art crawl will take place in connection to the Downtown Kingsport Association’s monthly Shop and Hop event.

On the first Thursday of each month, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., downtown arts businesses will be participating in the Art Crawl. Visit any participating location to pick up a stamp card which includes a map of all of the downtown arts businesses and start collecting stamps.

Once you complete your card, leave it with the final location filled out with your name and phone number to be entered into a prize drawing.

The November prizes are – BOGO Mercy Berry Art Class, a $20 Inspire Wine Bar gift card, an Inventor Center swag bag and a Clay Gurus Class gift card.

Special events this month are:

– 15% off purchases at Inspire Wine Bar with a partial or completed stamp card.

– Special exhibits at Create Appalachia and Impressions Fine Art.

– Open House at The Inventor Center.

– Clay demonstrations at The Clay Gurus

An art crawl is a self-guided event where participants are encouraged to explore these various art venues, see the creations they have for sale and maybe visit an establishment you’ve never visited before.

“The art crawl is a wonderful chance to explore our downtown art galleries and businesses and check out the latest creations of our local artists,” said Program Leader Linore Huss.
