Not all of the stops on this year’s Gallery Hop are galleries per se, but you’ll still find plenty of art.

Ten of the 12 stops are spread among Chattanooga’s City Center, North Shore or Southside districts. The two outliers are in Hixson and Brainerd.

Larry Bullington, owner of The Masters Studio in Hixson, says this is his first year to participate in the Gallery Hop, a self-guided tour meant to showcase Chattanooga’s visual arts.

He says a stop at his gallery will be a different kind of experience. “You pull up outside, and it seems like a house,” he says. “Inside, there’s $40,000 hanging on the walls.

It is his and wife Judy’s actual home, but he says his output and that of his all-ages clientele have somewhat taken over.
