Cast your vote for the best new architecture in East Tennessee.
From where we live to where we work; from where we play to where we worship; Architecture and design shapes our everyday lives.
While you are walking the dog or grabbing a coffee with friends, look up and show us what you see. It could be a detail you have admired many times or that moment as the sun rakes across Market Square. It could be off the beaten path or so common it’s often overlooked. This campaign challenges us to notice design as a part of the everyday (or any day).
Show us how you see East Tennessee.
Join us for the First Friday pop-up gallery celebrating the vast range of original works of art created by architects and related professionals in East Tennessee. Don’t miss out on this one-night only event. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
