There are many reasons for supporting the local arts.
1. It builds onto our rich culture.
2. It can serve to educate and entertain all age groups. (Have you
read some of the amazing books by regional authors?)
3. It is a proven driver for tourism.
4. It inspires young minds.
5. It can help local businesses.
6. Supporting art in Appalachia gives a voice to our artists to teach
others about our history and culture, to open minds not just in
Appalachia but anywhere art from this region is able to travel.

Talk about bad timing, they commissioned the building of South Holston Dam in December of 1941. That's the same moth the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Construction was delayed, over 300 families had to be relocated...and over 500 graves!!!
