MakeWork Artists Showcase during MAINx24 Tuesday, November 22, 2011
It’s that time of year! The leaves are falling, the family is deciding wether to deep-fry, smoke, or bake the turkey. Or will they try the new craze of the infrared oil-less turkey frier!? Amazing, and markedly less dangerous than the deep-fry method popular in past years. We hope.
We’re gearing up for another major Main Street Holiday… MAINx24 on Saturday, December 3rd! We’ll be busy jazzing up our little corner of the world on Main Street creating a public art experience to represent the the five years of CreateHere’s work.
From 2-4pm on the big day of MAINx24 December 3rd, this year’s MakeWork grant recipients will be exhibiting their work in the CreateHere space at 55 East Main Street. Come experience their work through installation, performances, sculpture, and much more at the MakeWork Showcase. These 15 artists and their projects underwent a highly competitive process to be awarded MakeWork grants from a pool of 125 applicants this year. Their work is outstanding, and we are excited to share their talent with you during MAINx24.
The MakeWork grants program is well supported by our community. This showcase is the perfect opportunity to be inspired by the artists that enhance how we experience Chattanooga, from public art to performance art and everywhere in between. Read more about the 2011 grantees and their work at the project page.
At nightfall around 7:00pm, MakeWork grantee Phillip Andrew Lewis will project his 3D light installation across the street on the historic and crumbling Levin Building. The CreateHere Supernova Pavillion will be nestled into the corner of Main Street and Market Street to punctuate the end of CreateHere’s five-year duration, and the impacts and continuation of the work that has started through the project. Keep on the lookout for other bursts of creativity down Main Street from CreateHere and all the Main Street neighborhood.
We’ll see you there!

The event is hosted by the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency.
The area being studied includes the Manufacturer’s Road, Hamm Road, and Cherokee Boulevard corridors.
“The North Shore Gateway plan will provide fundamental walking and bicycle connections throughout the area, connecting downtown with the national park, Stringer’s Ridge Park, and serve as a new link to Red Bank. Extending transportation options, and especially active and environmentally friendly options, is important to provide accessibility to these resources of our community,” says Philip Pugliese, Bicycle Coordinator at Outdoor Chattanooga.
From 10:00am – 5:00pm, maps, drawings, and a fly-through video will be on exhibit. The Regional Planning Agency staff and members of the design team will also be available throughout the Open House hours to answer questions.
