From artists in their 20s like Eden Anyabwile, to artists in their 70s, like Edward Kellogg, the “Chattanooga Local” art exhibit hosted at Stoveworks has brought artists of all ages and backgrounds together to showcase the Chattanooga contemporary art scene.
The show was planned before the pandemic began and is the first promoted exhibition in 2021 hosted at Stoveworks, which houses a variety of artists-in-residence to give them space and resources to focus on their craft.
“The art community in Chattanooga is so different than anywhere else in America,” said Kirby Miles, who is among the local artists featured in the show. “It’s a really cohesive group of people that bring each other up and really empower one another.”
