American Style Magazine: Chattanooga #2 Mid-Sized City for the Arts Wednesday, April 15, 2009
The results of American Style magazine’s recent reader survey are out, and Chattanooga was rated #2 for mid-sized cities for the arts, second only to the very wonderful Buffalo, NY. Chattanooga trumped cities well known for their artistic communities—among them Atlanta—in the category, which judges cities with populations between 100,000 and 499,000. Completely reader decided, this ranking is a huge honor for Chattanooga artists and arts initiatives.
The article reads: “Dark horse Chattanooga, Tenn., which didn’t place anywhere at all in the Mid-Size Cities rankings last year, muscled its way into the No. 2 spot for 2009 [...]. Buffalo, N.Y., held on to its top spot in the Mid-Size ranks for 2009 by a tight margin (fewer than 100 votes).”
American Style magazine’s June issue also features an article on Chattanooga’s revitalization, with insights from ArtsMove artists John and Peggy Petrey; Miki Boni and Thomas Paulsin. Congratulations to all, and many thanks to those who voted!
