Artists Exhibition Featuring Chasidy Hathorn Opening Reception
July 17, 2025 5:00 pm - 7:00 pmMcKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA
The McKinney Center will be featuring mixed media artist Chasidy Hathorn. The exhibition opening reception will take place on Thursday, July 17, 5:00 – 7:00 pm. The exhibition is free and open to the public and will be up through August 15. The artwork will be on sale that night and throughout the duration of the exhibition.
Chasidy Hathorn says, "Art tells a story, it truly does! That is one thing I love to do with my pieces--tell a story using paint, paper, razor blades, vintage magazines, fabric, packing paper...this list could go on for a while." Adding a bit of her spunky, Southern-Belle personality to her pieces, she signs each work under the artist name "SassyHat"--a nod to her inner-child artist who isn't afraid of bold colors, rich textures, and coloring outside the lines.
Hathorn's journey from a German and Latin teacher to a full-time professional visual artist has been a long and winding Mississippi back road, and it’s a story that can only be told while sitting a spell on my front porch with a good cup of coffee.
She didn't know she'd one day be an artist. When growing up in the middle-of-nowhere Mississippi, Hathorn dreamed of being all sorts of things--a preacher, a race car driver, a doctor, an astronaut, and even an architect. She still dreams of being a race car driver. Her fully engaged imagination and bold creativity (along with my love of talking) kept me her in trouble, especially in school. Hathorn says, "But, somewhere inside me, I always knew God had a plan for all of my tall tales, curiosity, and imagination. Stepping forward in faith, I made the decision in 2014 to make my art into my career. I don't regret taking the long way around to get to where I am today because I would have missed all of things that make my paintings and creations tell incredible stories."
The exhibit is free and open to the public, Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm. For more information you may contact the McKinney Center, 423.753.0562 -
