VISIT US AT THE CANDORO MARBLE BUILDING

Tri-Star Arts is based at the historic Candoro Marble Building in Knoxville, including their gallery space, artist studios, and main office. The gallery features 5 exhibitions each year with a local, state-wide, and national focus on contemporary visual art.
