VISIT US AT THE CANDORO MARBLE BUILDING IN 2021

Tri-Star Arts is very pleased to announce their new gallery space, artist studios, and main office at the historic Candoro Marble Building in Knoxville, TN. Built in 1923, the Candoro Marble Building originally served as the offices and showroom for the Candoro Marble Company. The Aslan Foundation is in the final stages of restoring the building. In partnership with the Aslan Foundation, Tri-Star Arts will oversee programming at the site.

Beginning in early 2021, Tri-Star Arts will open its new main office, present gallery exhibition programming, and host 4 Knoxville-based artists in their subsidized-rent studios. The gallery will feature 4-5 exhibitions each year with a local, state-wide, and national focus on contemporary visual art. 

The historic Candoro Marble Building showcases a Charles Barber designed Beaux-Arts architectural style, beautiful Tennessee pink marble, and an iconic tree-lined drive on its one-acre grounds. It is located at 4450 Candora Road, Knoxville, TN 37920.
