The 2nd half of the exhibit is called UNTOLD/TOLD. This is part of a larger community story-telling project that Donna initiated in her studio for over a year.

"A smart and meaningfully heartfelt celebration of our common humanity." - The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Tritt went to the West coast to study music production and artist management after high school. However, he soon realized where he really wanted to be was on stage performing. Tritt started playing guitar at a young age – getting lessons from his local guitar shop and from his dad.

In addition to growing up on the road learning from some of country music’s greatest talents from the side stage, Tritt also counts Motörhead, Ozzy Osborne and Stone Temple Pilots as some of his musical influences. Georgia native, Tristan Tritt, is a Rock artist, songwriter and musician.

If the name sounds familiar it’s because Tritt is the oldest son of country music legend Travis Tritt, and the brother of country artist Tyler Reese Tritt. However, Tritt’s heavier Rock driven performances have surprised fans who expect him to lean more towards his family’s Outlaw Country music roots.
