The sprawling c ampus, nestled in green, away from Gatlinburg's bustle, features one-week adult workshops and its gallery hosts shows of national and faculty artists that are free to the public. Exhibits change several times per year. The gallery features local artists and displays antiques. Each of the artists assists in the running of the gallery and the work of most artists is primarily inspired by the surrounding area. 1-5 p.m. Art Market includes original art and crafts by local and regional artists.
Works range from pottery, glass and wood to sketching and painting.
Art's Desire offers free painting of arts, crafts and pottery. Walk in, purchase a ceramic plate and paint it for a reduced fee. Art's Desire also hosts a summer camp. The gallery offers rocks, fossils, stones, and beads from around the world, as well as vintage and modern sterling silver chains, charms and more. Buying trips to Europe have stocked the gallery with unique furniture and antiques.
