Behind the Scenes: The Gatlinburg Special

You’ve seen (and maybe even played) the latest installation from our Summer Artist in Residence, Amy Marie Masters, The Gatlinburg Special. It had a great reception during its opening night on First Friday, August 7, that even included an appearance by Dolly Parton! Well, sort of.

But how about all the work that went on before the exhibition opened? Here’s a collection of images detailing Amy’s progress as she created a truly unique experience here at Artspace.
