Art 120 kicked off its 2023-2024 International Market Series
with Día de los Santos
Art 120 is delighted to partner with River City Company, the City of Chattanooga, ArtsBuild, the Z.C. Patten Fund, and the Tennessee Arts Commission to bring our International Market & More series back
Through these activities, we provide venues that showcase our beautiful community while also providing economic opportunities for burgeoning artists and new Americans through the celebration of their culture. Our current calendar of events include: Día de los Santos on Saturday, October 28th from 11am to 4pm in Patten Square.
The goal of our International Market and More series is to connect Chattanooga with its beautifully diverse communities by highlighting a particular culture or group around a holiday of importance for them. International Market attendees can expect a joyous celebration filled with live cultural performances, food and art. As Día de los Santos celebrates our Latin community, Art 120 is looking for artists and small businesses in our Latin community who would like to participate. Registration is open to all in our Latin community and requires a refundable deposit of $25 to reserve your space. Please share with any fellow Latino organizations and businesses so we may all grow this event together.
