Art 120 works between the lines of the formal art process (galleries, museums and venues) in order to bring art into the community. While Chattanooga is nationally known for public art, a good portion of our local community has little or no access to the creative process. Art 120 gets art off the walls and into our streets, classrooms and communities through education, curation and events. This process includes an ecosystem that brings artists from diverse backgrounds into elementary schools, teaches middle school kids how to build art bikes, exhibits community work alongside professional artists, and educates teachers on multi-disciplinary opportunities through the creation of art bikes and art cars. Through this model, Art 120 strives to connect our creative community with other cities within about a 120 mile radius of Chattanooga which encompasses Nashville, Knoxville, Birmingham and Atlanta to create a network to share art events, resources and programs.
