Light the Lamp

Light the Lamp is a project of Borderless Arts Tennessee supported by a grant from the Nashville Predators Foundation empowered by Smile Direct Club
The idea of the Light the Lamp project developed after Borderless Arts Executive Director, Lori Kissinger, visited the Exhibition Mine in Beckley West Virginia last summer.
The stories and information provided inspired Ms. Kissinger. She was especially intrigued by the first lanterns that were used, which were called Teapot Lanterns.
 
From this experience, it was decided to make Teapot Lanterns in some format and share provide art to an area mining organization to show our gratitude to the work that they due. Through this program, participants will also learn about the gems, minerals and resources that are mined and use for art.
 
This program has numerous components and individuals do not have to participate in everything in order to be a part of this project. However, a special certificate will be given to those who do participate in all of the programs.
Please contact Borderless Arts Tennessee to register for one or more of the activities below.
