Knoxville is rich in artists that don’t have an outlet to showcase their work outside of bars or coffee shops or other businesses that aren’t art-specific or associated with a university or other outside entity; there are other great galleries that have funding and we certainly don’t want to disparage them! Some of them are also doing great things. But we are looking to give voices and visibility to artists that might otherwise be unseen. We curate the shows based on how we can uplift Knoxville artists - visually and sonically - on an inclusive platform that we haven’t seen in existence for a long time. You can find the NEGATORY GALERY online at @negatory_gallery so keep an eye out for their show announcements. These folks are after my own heart trying to uplift and shine light on artists who are underrepresented in the area. The stuff that disturbs the comfortable and that's what I'm all about.
