OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Rebekah Riggs Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
Hi! My name is Rebekah.
I’m an art educator who is inspired by color and everything fun.
I’ve always been fascinated with stars, bright colors, and art that may be considered childlike to some.
But nothing makes me happier than women having fun without worrying what others think, so it empowers me to make art that radiates happiness and fun.

More Exhibits
The Ashley Garner Exhibit
My submission was inspired by all the many ways over time I, like all women, just had to figure it out. As a result of figuring it out, I have built a successful custom painting and furniture restoration business (Nest) as well as a writing career, writing for The Dollywood Company, Knoxville Mom's, Her View From Home, and Today.com.
The Alaina René Williams Exhibit
This submission is about a production I hosted for women of color! It was to inspire them and others about how confident, radiant and strong we (as women) can be! This production was to support, honor and recognize these women who have built a life of strength, confidence and success.
The Liberty Collins Exhibit
I'm an East TN native who grew up playing outside crushing poke berries, painting on tin with rocks, and digging in the red clay of my backyard. Now I’m a potter! I started my body vessel project in September of 2020 after a diagnosis of a chronic illness. Since then, it's blossomed into a wonderful exploration of loving my body, its limits, and overcoming shame around my illness and imperfections.
