The Martin Legacy

James C. Martin and Mary B. Martin were employed at Eastman Chemical Co. in Kingsport, Tenn. Both avid patrons of the arts, as well as talented chemists of some repute, their long-term support and gifts have transformed the arts at ETSU and in the region in unprecedented ways. After Mary passed away in 2008, the Mary B. Martin School of the Arts was established following a generous endowment from James C. Martin to provide support for the arts at ETSU and advocate for the arts regionally.

Through a series of arts events and other activities, the Martin School brings a new level of awareness and appreciation of the visual and performing arts to ETSU and the surrounding community. James Martin passed away in December 2015, but the Martins’ generosity leaves a legacy that will long be remembered.
