Why? Because the Art Scene in Knoxville is highly stratified. People here are cliquish, and too protective of their own position to be forming a real community.

Look at all the crap that flew about getting this forum, and fights started AFTER the forum was launched - a few people were far more interested in taking out personal dislikes on other people than in contributing or supporting a forum for artists of all levels on KG. So much shit flew that it almost killed the forum - which I truly believe was the intent.

Knoxville in general tends to be that way - so I guess people on KG being a product of their environment shouldn't be a big surprise.

Here it is months later, and the Art Forum is barely limping along...
When it really could have been a wonderful thing.
Dammit.
