I had my artwork shown here last month. It was a great time! They do art showcasing right at The Emporium! I want to thank the staff for their dedication and care for both the patrons and the artwork. Thank you again!

Amazing gallery. There are rotating exhibits here every month, opening on First Friday. Always worth checking out.
The Emporium is Knoxville's first true arts center located in the heart of downtown's Arts District. We are open M-F 9-5, select Saturdays 10-1, and the First Friday of each month 2-9 PM. We showcase regional artists year-round through changing exhibitions in the galleries. The Emporium is home to working artist studios and office space for local nonprofit arts organizations. Our large glass windows provide ample natural light, exposing original wood beams, brick walls, and other historic elements. We hope you will stop by for a self-guided visit! Admission is free, and exhibitions are generally appropriate for all ages.
