First View July 2009
AEC’s television show “First View” explores very different avenues of artistic expression in the July 2009 episode. To start, Katrina Craven from the Hunter Museum of Art discusses their summer exhibits. Jellies: Living Art is a joint exhibition between the Hunter Museum and the Tennessee Aquarium with pieces at each location. Also, there is an exhibit entitled Window on the West at the Hunter which explores the real American west through the eyes of various artists.
Next, AEC features the AIM Center, a psychiatric rehabilitation facility in the Chattanooga area. They have many exciting topics to discuss including the celebration of their 20th anniversary and their Fine Arts Program. This program is therapeutic to members through art expression and is followed up by creating an exhibition of their art.
The final topic of the July 2009 “First View” is AEC’s Artamajig, a fundraiser combining both culinary and fine arts. There will be a silent auction of works by local artists to take place at the Tanner Hill Gallery on Thursday, July 16, 2009. For more information on this event, visit Artsedcouncil.org.
