ART SLAM AT DOGWOOD ARTS FESTIVAL--APRIL 29, 2017 Dogwood Arts partners with the Muse Knoxville to produce Art Slam at the Dogwood Arts Festival, now in its 4th year. Art Slam is a live art competition among Knoxville’s up and coming artists. Artists have 3 hours to paint an extra large artwork with a colorful and inspiring design. We have painted doors, canvases and adirondack chairs. There are no design limits, but each artwork must celebrate the art, culture and natural beauty of our region.
