By Andy King, MS and HS Art Teacher
At 4 p.m. Thursday, August 29, University School of Nashville's Arts Department will welcome its first artist of the year into the Tibbott Gallery. Michael Mucker is a Nashville legend. Mucker has been working for decades in the community as a painter, muralist, tattoo artist, community organizer, and youth volunteer. A pioneer of the North Nashville art scene, Mucker is exhibiting his "The Unrefined Collection" in the Tibbott Gallery. He has been building this body of work for over a decade, so it is an honor to be the first to exhibit these works as a collection. Inspired by his youth mentorship roles, his works feature many art forms, including children's reading books. The exhibit will be on display through Friday, September 27.
