Our Arts of Vienna program is one way that we celebrate the enormously talented people living in the community surrounding our home-base/hometown of Maryville, Tennessee. We are humbled and thankful that they lend the fruits of their talent to dress up the walls of the Coffee House.
Starting September 6th, Arts of Vienna showcased the exhibit titled, “Sweet Rides; The Art of Transportation.” This exhibit celebrates the various forms of movement, from boats and cars, to anything else that transports us. The exhibit encouraged artists to let their imaginations take the wheel. This resulted in a diverse array of works. All of these reflecting in the dynamic theme of transportation. Visitors in the coffee house can experience a rich variety of mediums; including painting, mixed media, and photography, now until November 16th.
