Spread the Word: ArtsMove deadline Thursday Tuesday, October 27, 2009
This year’s third ArtsMove application deadline is on Thursday, October 29.
ArtsMove is a relocation incentive for full and part-time working artists. In its first three years, ArtsMove helped 25 practicing artists relocate to Chattanooga by offering mortgage assistance and financial assistance for the purchase of properties in one of five downtown neighborhoods. Combined home sales for phases I-III total $3.8 million.
From chocolatiers to landscape architects to storytellers to graphic designers to classical sculptors to DJs, ArtsMove artists have played an integral role in the redevelopment of the Southside.
Today, ArtsMove is growing, bringing the spirit of creative revitalization to a larger footprint, with a more flexible award. Qualifying artists can rent or buy property within a 3.5-mile radius of downtown. So far, four artists have been granted this new award, among them musicians, jewelery designers, and contemporary artists.
