Large-scale public art installations are coming to Chattanooga!

When artists from all over the region converge on the city April 13 to 22, making it their working studio, ten "artifacts" will headline the exhibition. These large-scale, site-specific installations will be situated on a ten-by-ten-block footprint and will bring to life the history and culture of the downtown core. This celebration of public art, called 10X10, is hosted by MakeWork and is a part of the much-buzzed-about citywide arts and culture showcase HATCH. The artifacts will remain up for viewing for the full ten days, so plan a time to stop by!
