About Gallery 1010
Gallery 1010 is a contemporary art exhibition space located at 100 S. Gay Street in Suite 114 of The Emporium Center of downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. As one of three University of Tennessee School of Art galleries, Gallery 1010 is the only fully student-run, non-profit, off-campus exhibition space in the state of Tennessee. The mission of Gallery 1010 is to provide space for the School of Art students of the University of Tennessee to experiment and develop new ideas while gaining educational gallery experience in professional standards and practices.
Gallery 1010 provides a location for School of Art artists to exhibit their work, curate exhibitions, and collaborate with other artists or disciplines outside of the School of Art. This professional off-campus gallery is an exceptional opportunity not commonly available at other Universities. The gallery engages the university, the growing downtown Knoxville gallery district, and the community at large by consistently exhibiting innovative, contemporary art work.
Exhibits run for one week and are attended by over 5,000 visitors each semester. Every week the gallery hosts an artist exhibition; totaling around 15 exhibits per semester. The gallery hosts opening receptions on Fridays from 5-7pm and open hours on Saturdays from 10am-1pm. All First Friday opening receptions are open from 5-9pm. Exhibiting artists have Wednesday through Friday to install their exhibit, then de-install or “strike” the show on Monday and Tuesday, leaving the gallery clean and ready for the next artist beginning the process again.

Misha Shulga – Associate Director
Misha Shulga is an interdisciplinary artist born on Iturup Island in the Kuril Archipelago, Russia (Etuworop-sir / エツ゚ヲロㇷ゚シㇼ). Raised in Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), he holds a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University and later trained in software development. His art practice explores themes of digital-age existentialism, introspection, and the intersection of technology and human experience. Working with remnants of electronic waste and discarded technologies, he uncovers meaning and narrative through upcycling, inviting reflection on the fleeting and the forgotten in a rapidly evolving world. Self-taught in music, Mikhail earned recognition in the All-Russian music competition How Space Sounds, organized by Alfa Future People with support from Mixmag. His compositions have been featured in the Music for Oceans charity compilation and the Miracle series by Belarusian independent label Ezhevika, with proceeds supporting ocean conservation via SeaLegacy. His work has also been presented on Radio Plato (BY).
