What we are
The Upper Cumberland Arts Alliance (UCAA) is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization located in Middle Tennessee.
Our Goal
The main goal of UCAA is to encourage, promote, and facilitate the
arts of the Upper Cumberland area. The Upper Cumberland consists of
14 counties:
Macon, Clay, Pickett, Jackson, Overton, Fentress, Putnam, Smith,
Dekalb, White, Cumberland, Cannon, Warren, and Van Buren.
UCAA
was founded in 1989 but
was last revitalized in 2005. It
is an organization that will nurture, celebrate, and assist individual artists and other art organizations.
One of our goals is to reach and enrich all the people in this
Tennessee region with the beauty and diversity of ALL art forms.

UCAA
has been invited by the historic town of
Granville,Tennessee
to become a part of their
ART & CULTURAL CENTER
located inside the newly re-opened
Sutton's General Store.
Sutton's General Store offers a glimpse into Granville's
past with hundreds of antiques as well as new merchandise,
hand dipped ice cream, and a live radio bluegrass show every
Saturday night.
UCAA is excited to be a part of this unique experience, and
invites EVERYONE to come visit. Granville is located 18
miles west of Cookeville on the Cordell Hull lake.

variety of artwork for sale. Help us promote the arts in our
area!
