Please join us for the opening reception of our annual Art in the Gardens display. The theme for this year is “Home Sweet Home: A Birdhouse Exhibit”. Come mingle with the artists (from a safe physical distance) and tour the new garden installation on Friday, June 4th from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

The project promotes community participation and artist collaboration and raises awareness and support for the Gardens.

Over 50 birdhouse interpretations will be displayed throughout the summer of 2021 for Gardens visitors to enjoy. The birdhouses will then be sold at a live auction in September, 2021 with all proceeds benefiting the UT Gardens, Knoxville.

Many thanks to all of our participating artists, collaborators and sponsors! Jerry's Artarama of Knoxville, Wendell, Kathy and Matt Thomas, Sunsphere Media and the UT Biosystems Engineering & Soil Science Research Machining and Fabrication Shop.
