Everyday Arts

Join the East Tennessee Historical Society as we celebrate the Everyday Arts! Throughout history, people created items they needed – often in artistic ways. These crafts served a purpose, while also lending beauty to everyday life. From basket weaving to chair caning, spinning to quilting, meet modern-day artists who have mastered these ancient crafts. Explore the gallery to see historic examples of these arts and take your turn at creating your own at the make and take stations. This family-friendly event is free and open to the public.

Thank you to our generous sponsors: Smoky Mountain Quilters Guild and Downtown Knoxville Alliance.
