APSU hosting Pokemon Go event to welcome back Students
Clarksville, TN – In early July, dozens of small, happy-looking monsters overwhelmed the Austin Peay State University campus.

Women Who Paint Women Are Alive and Well at Customs House Museum
Clarksville, TN – So often we admire paintings and artworks of artists who are not accessible for questions or comments. Not so was the case Thursday night, August 11th. Customs House Museum hosted a gala affair which introduced an exhibit entitled “Women Painting Women 2016”.
Featured artists’ works included those of Denise Stewart Sanabria who created life size cutouts of people whose only identity were numbers, but whose personalities were evident in the charcoal and pastel pencil on plywood models. They reminded one of oversized paper dolls, just ready to come to life.
Women Painting Women will be on exhibit at the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center through October 23rd, 2016.
