The Association for Visual Arts (AVA) is proud to announce the 4th Annual Downtown Chattanooga Gallery Hop. This popular event will take place on Saturday, September 12, 2009, 2-9pm. Several local galleries and artist studios have been added to the roster since last year. First Tennessee Bank is the title sponsor, and AVA is again producing the event in collaboration with the Chattanooga Downtown Partnership and Planning and Design Studio.

A brochure, which features a map and a listing of gallery & artist descriptions, along with detailed contact information, will be available at all participating galleries. This guide will enable "hoppers" to create their own route during the event and can also be used throughout the year.  In addition to the galleries, many individual artists will open their studios to the public. This will allow visitors to not only meet local artists face-to-face in their workspaces, but also learn about the materials, inspirations and methodologies that influence their work. This event is free and open to the public.  Come discover the distinctive and intriguing artwork in Chattanooga!
