  1. Leo Handmade: Springboard Graduate Opens for Business Wednesday, June 10, 2009

    CreateHere is proud to announce the opening of the much anticipated Leo Handmade Gallery, which storms Chattanooga with its unique assortment of hand-crafted wares this Friday.  Owner and Springboard graduate Bridget Miller and her partner John Hall will be hosting a grand opening celebration for this new venture from 2 – 10 pm.

    Leo features work by over 50 artists and designers from all over the U.S. and Canada, including local and regional favorites Kitty Dearest, Young Monster, and Tara Harris.  With an emphasis on American handmade apparel and emerging local artists, Leo has also made room for ‘zines, art, prints, and books.

    The ribbon-cutting is on Friday at 2 pm and festivities will continue until 10 pm. From 7 pm on, Chad Bledsoe of Chad’s Records on Vine Street will be providing a “weird eclectic mix” of sounds for the celebration — spinning records from his diverse collection.
