Opening Reception: Tuesday, November 8, at 5:00 PM
The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (McGhee Tyson Airport) and the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville are pleased to present “Arts in the Airport”, a new exhibition featuring selected artwork from over 45 artists in the East Tennessee region. “Arts in the Airport” was developed to allow regional artists to compete and display work in the most visited site in the area.

“Many aspects of this year's Arts in the Airport exhibition program are noteworthy: the sheer number of entries and participating artists (626 works by 156 artists); the high percentage of works in photography; and the range and character of the entries,” says juror Dorothy Habel, Professor of Art History and Director of the School of Art at the University of Tennessee. “In reviewing these entries, I was especially impressed and excited by the deep commitment of artists in our region to creating the works of art themselves.”
“The Arts in the Airport program has been a tremendous success, and we look forward to the opening of our newest exhibition,” said Howard Vogel, Chairman of the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority’s Board of Commissioners. “Each of the featured pieces is a reflection of the amazing artist work found only in our unique region. The exhibition is our way of welcoming people to our community and showcasing its passions, creativity, and craftsmanship.”

Feather Hair Extentions
Feather hair extensions are taking flight this summer!
While this hair trend echos the boho style of the '70s, it hasn't just returned, according to Hair Flairs Canada (custom hair extensions and accessories manufacturer) manager Trina Marr, it's taken over.
"Technology has coupled with an old idea and made it new. We're not looking like Pocahontas," Marr tells StyleList. "It's classy and a bit rock 'n' roll."
Faced with a rough economy, Marr believes that women were in search of a budget-friendly way to dress up their hair. Feather hair extensions are a fun and flirty alternative to costly highlights, and the appeal sparked a frenzy among stylists.
Hair stylist Joy La Rosa of the Sam Brocato Salon in SoHo has noticed that women are sitting down in her chair for natural hued feathers because it looks natural and organic.
GOOD NEWS!!! I'm offering natural hued feathers that have been naturally shed, at a bargain price. I will do hair extensions for $10 each or clip-ins for $15. If you'd like some or know of a location where I can set-up a booth, please contact me. Thanks.
