June 14:  Art & Architecture Tour / Photo Contest and Ticket Information

Calling All Photographers! Knox Heritage’s popular Art & Architecture Tour returns in 2013 with another contest for local photographers. The featured area this year is the University of Tennessee campus. In addition to historic buildings (>50 years old), the 2013 contest pays tribute to noted architect Bruce McCarty and includes five structures designed by McCarty. Photographers are invited to submit photos of structures on the list. Submissions that meet all requirements will be reviewed by a jury panel, and the winners’ works will be the basis of the tour. 

On Friday, June 14, a reception and gallery exhibition for the winning photographers and event attendees will be held at the McClung Museum. Following the reception, a guided walking tour based on the winning photographs will be led on campus by author and historian Jack Neely. In July, winning images will be displayed at the Emporium in downtown Knoxville.  The Art & Architecture Tour is sponsored by McCarty Holsaple McCarty.

Knox Heritage will accept entries to the photography contest until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15, 2013. You can find the contest guidelines and application on our web site here.  Order tickets for the Art & Architecture Tour below, or call 865-523-8008.
