SUMMARY:The Foark River Salon and Bait Shop reading with Barbara G. Tucker
DESCRIPTION:“In The Foark River Salon & Bait Shop\, Barbara G. Tucker proves that the most memorable Southern stories often begin in the unlikeliest of places. Filled with eccentric characters\, sharp wit\, and a deep affection for Appalachian life\, this novel deftly balances humor with compassion\, revealing the quiet courage it takes to embrace change. Readers will come for the laughter but stay for the richly drawn characters who linger long after this touching story ends.” -Robert Gwaltney\, critically acclaimed author of Sing Down the Moon \nJoin us to hear Barbara G. Tucker read from her latest novel\, The Foark River Saloon and Bait Shop! Free and open to the public. \nWe will have copies available for purchase\, or place a special order now to reserve your copy!

SUMMARY:Fall of Freedom Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:An independently organized open mic hosted at Pennington’s. You’re invited to read a brief original work\, or a favorite piece of someone else’s writing\, on the theme described below. \nFall Of Freedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping our nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda.

SUMMARY:Meet the Artist - Daniel Gamble
DESCRIPTION:Calling all artists\, art admirers\, book readers\, coffee drinkers\, or anyone in need of a little inspiration! Come and explore Daniel Gamble’s painting series\, Gift Cloak. \nGift Cloak was inspired by Daniel’s time walking the Camino de Santiago\, his eagerness to hear from God\, and his revelations on how God had already spoke to him. This event will display all 11 paintings; guests are welcome to view and purchase any piece that has not been sold. Daniel will be giving a brief talk about his inspiration for his series\, and where he may want to take his future art. The Artist’s Talk will be at 7pm\, but feel free to come earlier\, starting at 6! Light refreshments will be served and our full coffee menu will be available for purchase throughout the event! \nAbout the Artist: Daniel Gamble is a Chattanooga based painter whose work considers human belonging and purpose related to place. Growing up in a creative home\, his instruction started early and continued with studies at UTC and Covenant College. Currently serving as a deacon at the Mission where he leads an artist collective and continues to explore the interactions between faith and creativity. He is currently working on large scale mop paintings\, though most of the painting he does monthly is on his and others homes. \n
