Dogwood Arts is a Knoxville-based 501(c)3 nonprofit that promotes and celebrates the art, culture and natural beauty of East Tennessee. It grew out of a 1955 civic beautification project, the Dogwood Trails, and has built a long history of arts advocacy, environmental stewardship and economic impact in the region.

The organization produces about 20 year-round events and programs. Its art programs include the Dogwood Arts Festival, Chalk Walk, the Murals & Music Festival, Maker Exchange, a gallery, public art, a regional exhibition and youth programs. It also runs tree sales, the Dogwood Trails, featured gardens and the House & Garden Show.

Its work is supported by corporate sponsors, grant funding, local government investment and private donors.
