About the Platform
Built for East Tennessee Creatives
ETC is a platform designed to help local artists, makers, musicians, photographers, and creative businesses get discovered, connect with each other, and grow — right here in East Tennessee.
Why ETC exists
East Tennessee has always had a thriving creative community — but it's been scattered. Talented people doing incredible work without a shared space to be seen, connect, or collaborate.
ETC changes that. It's a home base — a directory, a forum, an event calendar, a resource hub, and a community all in one place. Built by a local creative, for local creatives.
Pricing doesn't start until November 2026. Between now and then, everyone who's been approved gets full platform access — free.
Four lanes. One community.
Whether you're here to support, promote yourself, maximize your presence, or bring your whole organization — there's a place for you.
