The carnival came to town — and these people didn’t miss it! Guests enjoyed live painting, caricatures, fire acts, acrobatics, dance and music during ArtsBuild‘s second annual InterMission. Held at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre, the event also honored five local artists who received the Ruth Holmberg Arts Leadership Award for contributing to community arts and culture. Funds from the night furthered ArtsBuild’s mission of empowering and strengthening the community through art.
