We Still Need Your Help to Make Luminaria Shine!

Due to unforseen circumstances, we will not be able to light up the Buckley Greenway until 2026. However, we still are proceeding with a Luminaria illumination in Chattanooga by December 15th and want your input to make this installation special for the community.

Step into the shadows and let your curiosity guide you—Art 120’s Dark Christmas Market returns for a night of enchantment and eerie delight beneath the winter moon.

On Saturday, November 8th, from 6PM to 10PM, the peculiar charm of Patten Square (818 North Georgia Avenue, just north of MLK Blvd) transforms into a hauntingly festive wonderland inspired by old-world European winter festivals.

Wander through stalls of curious crafts, strange delights, and seasonal mischief, where local makers and artists bring their most unusual wares to life. Enjoy live music, European street eats, and peculiar pastimes as the night unfolds.

The evening culminates in the spellbinding Wild Hunt procession—a breathtaking parade of creatures and characters drawn from the frostbitten depths of winter folklore.

Dress warm, bring your sense of wonder, and don’t come alone… You never know what (or who) you’ll find at the Dark Market.

Known across many European cultures as The Wild Hunt, this fanciful and surreal procession awakens between Samhain and Yule—that haunting sliver of time when the days grow short, the wind bites sharper, and nature slumbers in a cloak of darkness and decay.

This year, for the very first time, Chattanooga will conjure its own Wild Hunt during the Wylde Christmas Market at Patten Square on Saturday, November 8th, from 6PM to 10PM. As the shadows stretch long across the city, strange and magical beings will take to the streets. Afterward, they may even scatter mysteriously through town… for a little extra mischief beneath the winter stars.

In the spirit of this peculiar holiday season, Art 120 is brewing a series of workshops and curious gatherings throughout October to help our Hunt grow in both number and wonder. Whether you're crafting antlers, learning old lore, or dreaming up your otherworldly form—we'll be there to help bring your vision to life.

The Urban Art Bike Program was also going strong this summer. We had five kids who worked with artists Ondina Aguirre and Gaz Gazzola to build a Jelly fish art bike. During teacher training, the teachers worked with Kate Warren to build a cicada bike. They were exhibited at the Library’s Maker Day and you can expect to see them delighting people around town in the future.
