Join us in the Rechter Room for a talk by Knoxville artist Ashton Ludden, 2021–22 recipient of Austin Peay State University’s Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA) Tennessee Artist Fellowship. Ludden teaches at the Tennessee Governor’s School for the Arts, serves as the 2D artists coordinator for the Pentaculum Artist Residency at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and is a 2022 mentor for Tennessee Craft Master Artist Apprentice Program.

The CECA Tennessee Artist Fellowship was created to celebrate contemporary art and to support the continued creative work of exceptional Tennessee artists.
