My husband and I went to see a movie downtown, but got there rather early, so we decided to walk…read morearound and see what we could find in the nearby area. The art market was a rather fun place to stumble upon. It's not just an art gallery, but an actual art co op, so the people you are buying art from art actually the artists (so be careful what you say!). The people working here were super nice, and some of the art was gooorgeous. They not only have paintings, but lots of photography, sculptures (one artist seems to have a particularly odd penchant for vegetable steamers), jewelry, and clothing. The ceramics and jewelry were pretty reasonably priced. Some of the artwork was reasonable, and some both my husband and I both agreed was waaaay overpriced. I imagine since the artists determine the price for their own artwork. There was one painting which I'm now wishing I had bought. Maybe if we have a little extra money next month I'll call and see if it's still there. In any case, we did buy a ceramic vase, which we are now housing our lucky bamboo. Overall, I really liked this little art co cop, and I would gladly go back.

Tons of vintage boots and one of a kind Rockmount embroidered western shirts are to be found with sadly appropriate prices ($250 on up). This is not a lucky find kind of shop but rather a special treat for a wearable souvenir. Interspersed throughout are letterpress posters and arty signs as there is indeed a print shop in the back.

The lady was so helpful and sweet, If I had any questions she broke it down. Basically you go in and pick out what you want to paint, choose the colors and paint it. What ever item you choose to paint will be your price, I chose a jewelry box design and it was $26 and the prices will be at the bottom. But, u can't take it home until one week has past because they have to put it in the fire. I seen some of the finished products and they were gorgeous. I truly had fun and next time im bringing my son or a friend girl. The address is : 1645 Downtown West Blvd, Suite 35 ( not actually downtown ( for people who are not from Knoxville, I was about to head that way myself, its right off of Kingston Pike) Im new to Knoxville as well !! Check this place out !! Fun !!
