Where Art and Culture Live

Emory Place is a Social Hub supporting multidisciplinary activities in a collaborative model, blending the borders between living, working, learning, and between business and pleasure.

Emory Place is an urban cultural cove just 5 minutes from downtown Knoxville showcasing art, cuisine, fashion, design, and public street art. We are a thriving hub for innovative businesses and a destination for art, fashion and the creative community.

The vision is to create a place for bonding and inspire a  ‘WE culture’ in different learning, making, and working-driven environments to enhance collaboration and creativity.

HISTORY

Emory Place, just north of Downtown off Broadway, is enjoying a renaissance.  The North Knoxville Fire Station #3, North Knoxville Post Office Station A, and the Walla Walla Gum Manufacturing Company are iconic establishments once located at this spot. And perhaps the most curious is the relatively short-lived Central Market from the mid-1880s.
