As we prepare for our 25th annual ART Prowl, we can’t help but feel sentimental and look back on our amazing history and feel grateful for the artists and community members who built Art Round Tennessee from the ground up!

Check out this newspaper clipping from the heraldcitizen in 2008 of some ART members and sponsors preparing for that year’s Prowl.

We will be doing our best to share more clippings and photos like this leading up to this year’s event to celebrate our community throughout the past 25 years.

If you have any old photos, news paper clippings, or just some memories/quotes you’d like to share, please email them to [email protected] or send us a DM! We’re beginning to gather memories, stories, and physical media to save and keep records of our history, all the way back to how it all started!

WATCH OUT!
Be careful what emails you’re opening! Make sure if it says it is from someone in our nonprofit organization, it is actually coming from one of our trusted email addresses. Also, unless it has something to do with ART events, you can assume it is spam.
