The mission of the Tennessee Artistic Trust is to create a depository that holds in trust written, visual, audible, and electronic material such as exhibition catalogs, diaries, memoirs, scrapbooks, articles/essays, newsletters, and films/videos/audio tapes relating to Tennessee visual artists.
Our goal is to protect, preserve, and maintain said depository until such time that it can be transferred to a permanent manuscript repository – library/archives, historical society, museum, or private foundation -that will ensure that these records will be available for research by generations to come.
