4 Bridges Arts Festival 2010

Mark your calendars! 4 Bridges Arts Festival will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary on April 17 & 18, 2010 at the First Tennessee Pavilion in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Festival is produced by the Association for Visual Arts (AVA) and has become a staple in the southeast as well as the nation for presenting some of the finest original artworks made by contemporary artists from around the country. An annual event that attracts regional and national artists to exhibit their work for sale in Chattanooga, 4 Bridges introduces visitors, amateur art buyers and serious collectors to a variety of uniquely original artwork. Last year, approximately one hundred and fifty artists were selected from over five hundred and fifty applicants to exhibit painting, glasswork, jewelry, textiles, furniture, sculpture and more. Art of every shape, size and style awaits you familiar alongside whimsical, traditional alongside contemporary. With an attendance of more than 15,000 in 2009, the festival has become a signature event for the city and has earned recognitions including the designation as a Top 100 Fine Arts Show by national festival arts magazine Sunshine Artist. This year, 4 Bridges is expected to top itself, once again, especially with new elements to make its 10th Anniversary year memorable.
