As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the moments that make Big Ears what it is—the energy on Gay Street, the collective hush of a room captivated by a new sound, the conversations sparked between performances. None of this happens without you.
Big Ears is more than a four-day festival. It’s a year-round commitment to bringing bold, visionary art to Knoxville. To keep doing that, we rely on steady support from this community of listeners.
We invite you to set up a recurring monthly gift—$25, $50, or any amount of your choosing.
Recurring support makes the biggest difference by allowing us to take artistic risks, keep free community programming accessible, and sustain the work that happens long before and after the festival weekend. Your monthly gift fuels the creativity, courage, and openness that define Big Ears.
Become a sustaining supporter and help us keep this vision alive. We can’t wait to show you what we’re dreaming up for the future.
With gratitude,
The Big Ears Team
