An exhibit of artwork by local homeless and other non-traditional artists will be on display in the Augusta R. Kolwyck Library on the main campus of Chattanooga State Community College beginning Tuesday, March 13, and continuing for a month.

The exhibit comes from The Hart Gallery TN, a 501c3 nonprofit gallery, which provides a place for the artists to create and exhibit their works. Their extended mission is to supply art materials and mentoring classes to other non-profit community organizations who can provide a space for their clients to participate in art classes.

“Seeing how the artists express themselves will be a moving experience, “ says Ellen Heavilon, director of The Hart Gallery TN. For further details about the exhibit opening at Chattanooga State, contact reference librarian, Laura Young at (423) 697-4436.
