Enjoy Chattanooga’s thriving arts community (city-wide) the “First Friday” each Month from 5:30-8:30 pm.
The mission of "First Friday" is to promote and support local artists and musicians by providing them with an outlet to showcase their work. Every First Friday night of the month, participating Chattanooga galleries, artist studios and arts focused businesses will unite to showcase our local arts through extended operating hours.
Our goal is to encourage our city's natives, transplants and touring guests to explore, discover, experience and shop the many galleries and venues in our arts-friendly city. Come out and support LOCAL – Local Artists, Local Galleries and our Local Economy. You can ensure our arts community thrives and survives.
Below is a list of participating artist studios and galleries (alphabetically). In addition, each of these studios or galleries will post their monthly "First Friday" events on their shared Facebook page - (http://www.facebook.com/FirstFridayChattanoogaArts)
