Operation Boot Camp has just
wrapped up a great first month in its newest location, World's Fair
Park. This 30-day fitness and nutrition program is kicking off its second
month on March 3rd at 6:30 am. February Campers were more than pleased
with results. Downtown Boot Camper Emily Thompson said her Boot Camp
experience has changed her life for the better in several ways,
"I sleep better at night.
I have more energy throughout the day. I smile A LOT because I know
I am on my way to something great."
Downtown Campers are enjoying
using the Knoxville Skyline as the backdrop for their workout, "Working
out is a great way to start the day, and the World's Fair Park location
lets us use beautiful downtown and UT's campus as our playground,"
Emily Thompson. Operation Boot Camp hit the ground running at Lakeshore Park in August
2006 and has not stopped growing!
Who should check it out?
YOU!
Operation Boot Camp caters to people of all fitness levels! Both Elite
athletes and those just starting to workout are challenged to personal
fitness levels.

bliss home will host a reception for artist and University of Tennessee lecturer John Bissonette.
The
works in this show are all tied to his ongoing interests in the
relationship between popular culture and sentimentality. These
paintings date from 2006 to the present and are evidence of an evolving
interest in the spaces of commodified emotion. The object matter in these works comes from multiple sources, ranging from the autobiographical to the public. Seen as a group they present a range of possibilities for the projection of meaning. He views the act of painting as essentially about transformation. It is a way to open up possibilities for images to receive meaning not readily available in their former life.
His work is an exploration of situations that have the ability to transgress the notion of cliché. He works within the constraints of mass culture, yet recode appropriated images and text so as to allow for meaning to be born of the slippery spaces between the genuine and the prescribed.

Unarmed Merchants - 129 S Gay Street (865) 539-5769
Throughout March, the featured artists at Unarmed Merchants are proving
that art, coming from within, can take on many different forms. From
the uncommon energy portraits of Marita Gale, to the exclusive
stained-glass paintings of Emily Davis, Unarmed Merchants is building
quite the collection of unique artwork for First Friday Knoxville.
Emily Davis offers a trick on the eyes with her painted glass, which
strongly resembles stained glass work, as Marita Gale brings forth
chalk pastel energy portraits, representing the energy she senses from
within. Also on display are the works by Elaine Carpenter, Calvin
Chappelle, Wes Rader, and Caleb Wilson, as well as the regular faire of
functional art from around the world, featuring special pieces from
Tennessee artisans. |
