Opening reception for Dan Knowles’ exhibit, Modern Icons, Artwork 1968-2022

Sunday, September 18, 2-4pm.

Paris Academy for the Arts newest exhibit features the work of local artist Dan Knowles, in a show called Modern Icons, Artwork 1968-2022.

Dan’s historical murals in the Paris downtown alleys are well-known, and some of his artwork has hung in previous Gallery group shows. This is the first PAA show devoted exclusively to his work, and includes many pieces created in the past year. Dan includes paintings, sculptures, and musical instruments.

An icon may be defined as a person worthy of veneration, someone having great influence and significance to another. Dan pays tribute to a college art teacher who qualifies as one of his icons, and has painted images of people who would qualify as icons to others. 

The opening reception will be Sunday, September 18, from 2-4 p.m., and all are invited to meet Dan and view his art.

Paris Academy for the Arts is located at 402 Lee Street, Paris, TN 38242.
