sokno pride
“SoKno Pride began in 2021 on Sevier Avenue as a simple drag show and brunch. From there it quickly expanded into our South Knoxville neighborhood coming together to support our LGBTQIA+ community. We host an annual festival in June along Sevier Avenue as well as several events throughout the year, and we use a portion of our proceeds from these events to benefit local and regional charities centered around improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ folks in Tennessee.”
dogwood arts festival
The Dogwood Arts Festival, held at World's Fair Park in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a vibrant celebration of art, culture, and community. This annual event showcases a diverse array of talented artists, craftspeople, and musicians, providing a platform for creativity and inspiration. Visitors can explore a wide range of artworks, from paintings and sculptures to handmade crafts and unique jewelry.
As a vendor at the festival, I will be presenting my works that highlight the beauty of wildlife, particularly inspired by my passions for birding and our native species here in east Tennessee.
The Dogwood Arts Festival also features live performances, delicious food vendors, and engaging children’s activities, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy! I hope to see you there!
