While we will be meeting in person for this event, our guest, Karlota Contreras-Koterbay, will be connecting with us virtually from Johnson City to discuss her Black Craft TN History project. Karlota Contreras-Koterbay is an award-winning sculptor and accomplished curator focusing on regional, emerging, and nationally-renowned women, BIPOC, LGBTQ, and Appalachian artists. She is the Director of the Tipton and Slocumb Galleries at ETSU and has recently been leading research on the work and contributions of Black craft artists in Tennessee since 1920. You are invited to join Karlota's project by recommending Black artists working in traditional craft mediums in Tennessee over the past century.
