More than 100 artists are showing and selling their work this weekend at the 4 Bridges Arts Festival at the First Tennessee Pavilion.
Teresa Peterson of Detroit said that until this weekend, Chattanooga was just a city she drove through on her way to Atlanta.
But Ms. Peterson is in town for three days to debut her 2-D mixed media collages at the 10th annual festival today and Sunday.
She is one of 143 artists selected from more than 700 who applied for the nationally known fine art showcase. Ceramics, acrylic and oil paintings, jewelry, textiles, blown glass and sculpture are among the 16 mediums represented.
