SUMMARY:Artists Exhibition Featuring Chasidy Hathorn
DESCRIPTION:The McKinney Center will be featuring mixed media artist Chasidy Hathorn. The exhibition opening reception will take place on Thursday\, July 17\, 5:00 – 7:00 pm. The exhibition is free and open to the public and will be up through August 15. The artwork will be on sale that night and throughout the duration of the exhibition.\nChasidy Hathorn says\, “Art tells a story\, it truly does! That is one thing I love to do with my pieces–tell a story using paint\, paper\, razor blades\, vintage magazines\, fabric\, packing paper…this list could go on for a while.” Adding a bit of her spunky\, Southern-Belle personality to her pieces\, she signs each work under the artist name “SassyHat”–a nod to her inner-child artist who isn’t afraid of bold colors\, rich textures\, and coloring outside the lines.\n​Hathorn’s journey from a German and Latin teacher to a full-time professional visual artist has been a long and winding Mississippi back road\, and it’s a story that can only be told while sitting a spell on my front porch with a good cup of coffee.\n​She didn’t know she’d one day be an artist. When growing up in the middle-of-nowhere Mississippi\, Hathorn dreamed of being all sorts of things–a preacher\, a race car driver\, a doctor\, an astronaut\, and even an architect. She still dreams of being a race car driver. Her fully engaged imagination and bold creativity (along with my love of talking) kept me her in trouble\, especially in school. Hathorn says\, “But\, somewhere inside me\, I always knew God had a plan for all of my tall tales\, curiosity\, and imagination. Stepping forward in faith\, I made the decision in 2014 to make my art into my career. I don’t regret taking the long way around to get to where I am today because I would have missed all of things that make my paintings and creations tell incredible stories.”\nThe exhibit is free and open to the public\, Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm.

SUMMARY:"Can't Get Away with This" Original True Crime Play
DESCRIPTION:We are grateful for our sponsors\, Bravissima! Women Supporting the Arts\, McLeod Organics\, Lynda Harris\, Dillow Taylor Funeral Home\, and Dona & Chuck Lewis.Inspired by a true crime from Jonesborough’s past\, “Can’t Get Away with This” is an original play written by Anne G’Fellers-Mason. It will be performed at the McKinney Center on July 18th\, 19th\, 25th\, and 26th at 7:30 pm and on July 19th and 26th at 2:00 pm.On August 26\, 1928\, the body of Officer James Hood was found on Main Street on the lawn of the Second Presbyterian Church\, now the Central Christian Church\, and it was obvious he’d met with foul play. The intense investigation\, arrests\, and court case that followed consumed the attention of the town for several weeks. But justice was never found for Officer Hood\, and the rifts that followed the jury’s decision pushed the crime into the shadows\, not to be talked about. This interactive play\, with opportunities for the audience to investigate alongside the characters\, will present all the evidence and sources from the time. What really happened that night? Come and be a part of the play and discover for yourself.“This is a story I’ve wanted to research and write for years\,” shares Mason who will also be directing the play. “Some voices from the past cry out to me louder than others\, and Officer Hood’s was one of those. I see this play as a way to shed light on an injustice from the past and hopefully bring some peace to a painful situation. It’s only by embracing our past that we can learn from it.” Officer Hood is the only Jonesborough police officer to be killed in the line of duty. “I hope the audience will be on the edge of their seats like I was when I was researching this play\,” Mason adds. “It’s a real nail biter.”Tickets are $17 and are available for purchase at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Visitors Center at 423-753-1010. This play is rated PG-13 for adult themes and suggested violence.
