Kinstler-Website-Slide-FINALThe current Fine Arts Gallery’s exhibition America Creative: Portraits by Everett Raymond Kinstler explores the works of America’s foremost portrait artist. Kinstler’s career has spanned over 70 years, and he has painted more than 2,000 individuals, including eight US presidents. More than 300 people attended the opening reception on March 23, setting a record attendance for a gallery opening. The exhibit is on display in Cohen Memorial Hall on the Peabody campus through July 14. An Arts Break about America Creative is currently airing on WNPT. Tune in!

The Fine Arts Gallery also had the pleasure and privilege of hosting Kinstler on March 24 for a live painting demonstration with Eddie George, actor and former Tennessee Titans star running back during the opening weekend of the exhibition. Here is a video of his performance in case you couldn’t make it to the event or want to watch it again: Painting demonstration by Everett Raymond Kinstler with Eddie George (3/24/2018)
