Made in Tennessee

arts · EN-US

A wave of new research by academics and curators inspired by the country’s 250th anniversary will be conducted over the next year in the state’s museums, universities, archives, and presses, exposing new stories and history. The Made in Tennessee podcast is intended to raise the visibility of this research to a broad audience, drawing on experts in the field to amplify and promote exhibitions, publications, and presentations occurring across the state in 2026. Listeners will gain insights into their own history by better understanding how the everyday art and craft objects handed down through their families were made and used. This project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee administered by the Tennessee Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial.
