SUMMARY:10 Year Celebration & Commemoration McKinney Center
DESCRIPTION:The McKinney Center and the Town of Jonesborough are pleased to announce a 10 Year Celebration and Commemoration. Last year\, 2023\, marked the 10th Anniversary of the McKinney Center in its current form. To celebrate this important anniversary\, the McKinney Center will celebrate the history of the building by commemorating the Booker T. Washington School faculty and staff with a bench dedication. The ceremony will occur on February 12\, 2024\, at 1pm at the McKinney Center and the public is invited to attend. This event will hold a dedication in the auditorium with a time for alumni to share. It will conclude with light refreshments including cookies from Side Hustle Bakery and coffee donated from The Corner Cup.\nThe McKinney Center was originally the Booker T. Washington School. It was completed in 1939 and was the first Works Progress Administration (WPA) built building in Washington County. The school opened its doors for African American school-age children from grades 1 – 8 in 1940 and served in this capacity until integration in 1965. This building was the primary education facility for hundreds of African American students in the community. The faculty and principles served here left an educational legacy that continues today. Beginning in 2010 the town purchased the building and restored it into a place that would bring people together through the arts. Renovations began and lasted for several years. In November 2013\, the building officially opened as the McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School.\nOver the past year\, the McKinney Center’s Diversity & Equity Sub-Committee has worked on researching the names of faculty and staff of the Booker T. Washington School to create a plaque to partner with a bench to place on the McKinney Center property. The research was done through oral history accounts from alumni of the school and records from the Washington County School Department. Special thanks to the Jonesborough Genealogical Society in helping with the research of families.\nThe McKinney Center extends a special invitation to the families of those who worked at Booker T. Washington school between the years of 1940 and 1965; Hattie Birdwell\, Ethel Brown\, Mr. L.H. Buford\, John Cox\, Hugh Dean\, Bessie Dickson\, Savannah Dickson\, Gladys Hale\, Richard Hampton\, Ms. Hankal\, Lester Howard\, George Johnson\, Connie Kizer\, Katherine Matthews\, Ernest L. McKinney\, Willie McNeil\, Mildred Patton\, Starlin Perry\, Henry Greenlee\, M.E. Richardson\, Dorothy Rhea\, James Rollins\, Mr. Henry Scott\, Mrs. Gertrude Shanks\, Ella Sherrill\, John Stewart\, Robert Stewart\, Virginia Sylvers\, Ada “Sis” Woodson\, and Oscar Wilson.\nIf you are a family member and wish to share stories and memories of Booker T. Washington School\, please call 423-753-5062 or email Skye McFarland at skyem@jonesboroughtn.org.

SUMMARY:Artist Exhibition Reception: Karen Hitchcock & Carlyn McLaney
DESCRIPTION:The McKinney Center will feature painter Carolyn McLaney and glass fusion artist Karen Hitchcock in a new exhibition. The exhibition opening reception takes place Friday\, February 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibition is free and open to the public and will be up through Friday\, March 22. Both artists will be at the opening reception to talk to visitors about their work and to answer any questions. The artwork will be on sale that night and throughout the duration of the exhibition.Carolyn McLaney is a Bluff City\, Tennessee resident. She is a self-taught artist working mostly in acrylics. McLaney’s desire to be an artist began in second grade\, but it was not until her retirement that she was able to devote herself full-time to her artistic dream.A large part of McLaney’s work is done with palette knives and in thick layers. She characterizes these works as her\, “slap happily paintings.” Her inspiration comes from several sources such as color combinations that she sees in her landscapes. She doesn’t start painting with a detailed plan\, rather she paints by instinct where her brush leads her. McLaney’s subjects range from elements of nature such as birds and flowers to Persian cityscapes. She not only creates 2-D paintings but she also paints on boxes\, and other 3-D objects.McLaney’s goal as an artist is to inspire an emotional connection between the viewer and her work. When someone purchases one of her pieces and they say it makes them happy or that it touches their heart\, she feels that she has accomplished her goal as an artist. Her work can be viewed on Facebook and on Instagram at @c.mclaney.art.Karen Hitchcock is originally from western New York and has lived in East Tennessee for the past seven years. She is a glass artist and studied glass blowing and fusing at Corning Glass Center\, Alfred University and Owatka School of Glass. She also worked at Rochester Arc and Flame as a glass fusing instructor and was able to take classes in torch work with glass.Hitchcock and her husband owned Blue River Studio for seven years in Elizabethton\, Tennessee. She currently teaches fused glass workshops at the McKinney Center in Jonesborough and in her private studio.At present\, Hitchcock has six large Mosaics hung permanently for public display in a walkway in Elizabethton and has just finished five more large panels to go on a building at the Veterans Memorial in Elizabethton\, to be hung in May 2024.Hitchcock’s inspiration comes from nature and she gathers ideas while enjoying hiking\, kayaking and fishing and taking pictures along the way. Hitchcock’s work ranges from magnificent vases to beautiful sun catchers and ornaments. View her work on her Facebook and Instagram pages by searching Blue River Studio and also on her website khitchglass.com/. Her favorite part of teaching is watching her students break their first piece of glass and to witness the look of surprise on their faces. She states that\, it is a pleasure seeing people enjoy her work and talking with them about it.For more information\, contact the McKinney Center at 423.753.0562.

The artwork will be on sale that night and throughout the duration of the exhibition.Carolyn McLaney is a Bluff City\, Tennessee resident. She is a self-taught artist working mostly in acrylics. McLaney’s desire to be an artist began in second grade\, but it was not until her retirement that she was able to devote herself full-time to her artistic dream.A large part of McLaney’s work is done with palette knives and in thick layers. She characterizes these works as her\, “slap happily paintings.” Her inspiration comes from several sources such as color combinations that she sees in her landscapes. She doesn’t start painting with a detailed plan\, rather she paints by instinct where her brush leads her. McLaney’s subjects range from elements of nature such as birds and flowers to Persian cityscapes. She not only creates 2-D paintings but she also paints on boxes\, and other 3-D objects.McLaney’s goal as an artist is to inspire an emotional connection between the viewer and her work. When someone purchases one of her pieces and they say it makes them happy or that it touches their heart\, she feels that she has accomplished her goal as an artist. Her work can be viewed on Facebook and on Instagram at @c.mclaney.art.Karen Hitchcock is originally from western New York and has lived in East Tennessee for the past seven years. She is a glass artist and studied glass blowing and fusing at Corning Glass Center\, Alfred University and Owatka School of Glass. She also worked at Rochester Arc and Flame as a glass fusing instructor and was able to take classes in torch work with glass.Hitchcock and her husband owned Blue River Studio for seven years in Elizabethton\, Tennessee. She currently teaches fused glass workshops at the McKinney Center in Jonesborough and in her private studio.At present\, Hitchcock has six large Mosaics hung permanently for public display in a walkway in Elizabethton and has just finished five more large panels to go on a building at the Veterans Memorial in Elizabethton\, to be hung in May 2024.Hitchcock’s inspiration comes from nature and she gathers ideas while enjoying hiking\, kayaking and fishing and taking pictures along the way. Hitchcock’s work ranges from magnificent vases to beautiful sun catchers and ornaments. View her work on her Facebook and Instagram pages by searching Blue River Studio and also on her website khitchglass.com/. Her favorite part of teaching is watching her students break their first piece of glass and to witness the look of surprise on their faces. She states that\, it is a pleasure seeing people enjoy her work and talking with them about it.For more information\, contact the McKinney Center at 423.753.0562.
