[Wait List Available] An Evening with the Ashes

November 10, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free – $200.00

Enjoy a fascinating evening in the private home of Victor and Joan Ashe. The home was built in 1921 with two additions completed in 2012 and 2016. You will be able to view their extensive art collection from Poland, Europe, and East Tennessee throughout the home and in the gallery addition. We will begin with appetizers and wine in the living area before progressing to the dining areas for a specially prepared Polish-inspired fine dining experience.

The Ashes have led a very interesting life! In addition to raising their two children, they are long-time public servants. First elected at age 23, Victor served in the Tennessee House of Representatives for six years and then in the Tennessee Senate for nine years. In 1987 he was elected Mayor of Knoxville and continued in that position for 16 years until 2003. In August 2023, he was awarded the Bruce McCarty Community Impact Award for progress during his tenure as Mayor.

Following his time as Mayor, he became the U.S. Ambassador to Poland for five years until he returned to Knoxville in 2009.

Joan Ashe is very active with the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum and is a past President of the Board of Directors.
