When Ken and Aimee Herrin moved here one year ago from Oregon, one of their first outings was last spring’s 4 Bridges Arts Festival.
“I was really struck by the quality of work and how well the show is produced,” says Ken, an artist in mixed-media sculpture. “It had been a long time since I’d done this type of art show, but it seemed a great way to jump into the Chattanooga scene.”
So he applied for the 2013 festival — along with nearly 550 other artists from across the country, according to Kathryn Dunn, 4 Bridges festival director.
And he made the cut, one of 145 artists who received an invitation to show.
