A reception will be held Thursday, May 16, to meet the 21 local artists whose work is displayed in “The Artist’s Eye,” a celebration of nature as viewed through the eyes of the exhibit’s participating artists.

The open house will be held at First Christian Church, 650 McCallie Ave., from 5 to 8 p.m.

First Christian Church-Disciples of Christ has partnered with Jumpst/Art to bring more than 80 original, fine-art pieces to its emerging Palette to Table art gallery. There is a variety of mediums from which to choose, including paintings, mixed media, metal sculpture and photography in a range of prices.

The professional artists featured are donating a portion of their sales from this exhibit to the Chattanooga Community Kitchen.

The exhibit opened April 28 and continues through June 20. Other than Thursday’s reception, the artwork is shown by appointment Monday through Friday or 9 a.m. to noon on Sundays.
