The Sevier County Heritage Museum is honored to have been selected as the permanent exhibition venue for 24 original watercolors by noted regional artist Susan Cassidy Wilhoit. Described as "Tennessee's Visual Essayist," Susan has found a unique "thumbprint" of Sevier County's history in its historic sites, landscapes, and architecture. The unusual series is Susan's visual diary generations in Sevier County prior to the new millennium. A Rhea County native, Susan began painting historic subjects in 1991 after more than twenty years' experience as a studio artist. Her watercolor series, "Tennessee...through the Generations," was exhibited in the U. S. Capitol in 2001. She was honored by the Tennessee General Assembly for that accomplishment. Nine of the paintings have been funded; fifteen remain available for "adoption." This will be done through a silent auction that begins at the exhibit's opening and will run until each painting is funded. The opening will we from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5th. Come enjoy an hors d'oeuvre buffet and live bluegrass music by Tom Morgan and Lynne Haas after you've voted and while you're waiting for Sevierville's Winterfest lights to be turned on.
