A Local Art Display by
First Peoples Bank

At First Peoples Bank, we believe in more than just banking — we believe in supporting the people, stories, and creativity that make East Tennessee so vibrant. That’s why we’re putting art at the heart of the community by turning our branch into a gallery for local artists and students.

Each month, our Community Art Wall will feature pieces created by artists from right here in our region. Whether you’re a seasoned painter, a student just starting out, or someone who simply loves to create, we want to showcase your work and share your talent with the community.

Who Can Apply?

We welcome:

  • Local artists of all ages and experience levels
  • Students and school art programs
  • Art teachers, studios, and community groups

Monthly Rotating Displays

Featured artwork will be displayed inside our main branch lobby for one month. Every month will bring new art, and occasionally we’ll highlight special themes like:

  • Youth Art Month
  • Jefferson County History
  • Smoky Mountain Landscapes
  • Mossy Creek and Local Life

We accept:

  • 4–5 large pieces
  • 7–10 medium pieces
  • 8–15 small pieces
    (ready-to-hang preferred)

How to Apply

It’s easy to share your work! Just fill out our short application form and upload a few sample photos. As part of the process, you’ll also agree to our simple display guidelines.

No fees. No experience required. Just your passion to share your art.
