Happy first day of the semester! #matching #firstdayfun

Heads up - tomorrow is the first day of the spring semester for both TTU and Vol State and TCAT has already started back so that means parking could be crowded. We advise getting to the campus a little bit early so you won’t be rushed to get a parking spot, find your class, etc. There will be a board in the atrium with class room numbers so be sure and check it out. There will also be staff and student leaders in the atrium to assist you. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Check out artwork on display at CHEC this semester.This Exhibit is presented by the Art Department of Volunteer State Community College. Catherine Cella Neapolitan My “Storyboards” represent my venturing into the "other world" of the past, specifically women's lives about a hundred years ago. I collect vintage photography and find myself wondering about the subjects' lives. In this series, I engaged with the women and imagined journal-like entries, beginning with six-word memoirs: the subtitles here. Carlton Wilkinson Carlton Wilkinson teaches photography at our Gallatin Campus. He earned a BFA at Washington University, St. Louis and an MFA in Design from the University of California Los Angeles. He has exhibited nationally, including the Smithsonian Institution, the University of Notre Dame, Vanderbilt University, University of Berkeley, California, Fisk University, the Frist Art Museum. His photography was been included in a traveling exhibition and book, Reflections in Black. Wilkinson has been largely inspired by his involvement in art of the African Diaspora, These Photos: Wilkinson has been largely inspired by his involvement in art of the African Diaspora. Palenques: Afro-Colombians towns of South America. Descendants of the continent of Africa have been present since the 16th century when the Spanish Colonialists brought them over as slaves. The people appear to reflect not only their African heritage but also the mixture of Native Indian and Spanish lineage. However, these Afro-Colombians have managed to maintain their distinct culture preserved from the areas of Angola and the Congo of Central Africa. Shannon Stoney Shannon Stoney teaches Introduction to Art at this campus. She says: I’ve been photographing my rural neighborhood in Putnam county since 2001. I use film cameras, and I process film and prints in an old-school darkroom. I like to mess around with a lot of different cameras—pinhole cameras, toy plastic cameras, big 8x10 cameras, and little old Leicas from the 1930s. I also like to experiment with alternative processes, especially cyanotype and photogravure. If there’s a weird way to make a photograph, I want to try it.
