Art lovers packed into the gallery of the Association for Visual Arts (AVA) on Frazier Avenue for the opening reception of the 2024 Member Salon Show, a vibrant showcase featuring over 150 local and regional artists. Guests admired a space transformed in the style of an 18th-century French Salon, with floor-to-ceiling artwork, including paintings, ceramics, jewelry and sculptures. The exhibit celebrated Chattanooga’s thriving arts community and highlighted AVA’s mission to promote local visual artists.
