About

Stove Works is located in the southside of Chattanooga. Stove Works was born from discussions that expressed the need for more spaces in the Southeast that highlight Contemporary Art Practice. We offer three core programs: Residency, Exhibitions, and Education. Rooted in an intention to highlight the Practice of Contemporary Art, we ask our audience to do more than passively view artwork. Stove Works seeks to use Art to encourage conversations, inspire reflection, and provide opportunities to learn from the experiences of others. All of our programs are designed with fluidity in mind, allowing us to not only guide but to respond. All of our programs are free to attend. From February through November of each year, Artists are invited to live/work for one to three months at a time. Our residency serves as a moment away from the rigamarole of life and an opportunity for artists (for you) to take advantage of the dedicated time, space, resources, and community we have to offer.

Local Information

Chattanooga is geographically ideal, situated within 2.5 hours of travel of four of the Southeast’s most bustling metropolitan cities: Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, and Birmingham. Since the early 90’s Chattanooga, reinvented itself from “dirtiest city” to one of the top outdoor destinations in the country.
