Knoxville Oddities
**I will no longer be vending at this event as the coordinator is blatantly using AI to promote an “art” event, when questioned they doubled down on how the “art” was just their skills limitations…. I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS EVENT. I DO NOT SUPPORT AI IN THE ART ARENA. Not in our holler**
