Support AVA & the 4 Bridges Arts Festival.
The Association for Visual Arts (AVA) has helped shape the Chattanooga arts community for over 38 years. We provide on-going support and opportunities to artists, art enthusiasts, patrons and art institutions. We strengthen the visual arts in Chattanooga by providing on-going career development, social networking, and exhibition opportunities. AVA’s galleries are one of Chattanooga’s only open public exhibition spaces. Our carefully curated exhibition calendar attracts over 11,000 visitors each year while showcasing over 150 local artists and 200 student art pieces. The annual 4 Bridges Arts Festival is continually ranked in the top 100 arts festivals in the country. The festival is the only major fine arts festival in the Tennessee Valley. The 4 Bridges Arts Festival has become a mainstay in the Chattanooga event calendar. Since its inception the Festival has drawn over 2800 artists, and an estimated 200,000 art patrons.
Your support of the 4 Bridges Arts Festival & AVA is an investment in the visual arts community of Hamilton County.
