Timing matters when you visit downtown Knoxville’s gallery scene. Go on a First Friday Artwalk if you want to see a lot in one night. If you’d rather catch a specific curated show, head to the KMA or UT Downtown Gallery and check when it closes before you go. The literary walking tour is worth adding to your plans too — most visitors skip it entirely. Before you finalize anything, look up the individual venue calendars so you don’t show up on the wrong day.
