Art 120, an organization dedicated to fostering artistic talent and creative expression in the community, announces the return of We Make. It will be held Saturday, May 3, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Chattanooga Green. This year’s event will be more than just a showcase – it’s a full-scale celebration of the artistic spirit of Chattanooga.
We Make is a one-of-a-kind festival designed to ignite the imagination of art lovers, students and families alike. Expect a blend of artistic performances, visual art exhibits, and hands-on activities.
The heart of the event lies in celebrating the next generation of artistic visionaries. Over $1,600 in cash awards will be presented to honor student talent across multiple categories, including 2D and 3D art, live performances, UpCycle fashion, and the Golden Gnome Award – a $500 cash prize for the most creative wheeled contraption designed by a local student or school. We Make is all about nurturing and amplifying young creative voices in Hamilton County.
“As Albert Einstein said, ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge,’ and we’re proud to give our students a platform to showcase their brilliance,” said Kate Warren, executive director of Art 120. “Chattanooga is overflowing with artistic energy, and We Make is the perfect celebration of that. We invite everyone to come and enjoy this incredible display of talent and creativity.”
We Make 2025 will also feature whimsical art cars, interactive activities for all ages, and the chance to connect with local artists and makers.
At its core, Art 120 is a community-driven organization that uses the power of art to promote self-expression, cultural enrichment and connection. Events like We Make allow Art 120 to continue its mission of creating inclusive spaces where artistic talent can thrive and be celebrated, said officials.
