Why ChattanoogaWorks For Me: Let’s Document Our City Tuesday, July 21, 2009
It’s a beautiful afternoon in the Chattanooga region, and I’m reminded of how many facets our city has to offer as I work from the CreateHere space, located in our city’s urban core.
Over the course of the summer alone, Chattanooga has seen the new installation of public art, thousands of attendees at the Riverbend music festival, families gathering at Movies in the Park at Coolidge, national and local artists represented at the 4 Bridges Arts Festival, the Nightfall Concert Series, and STAND, a community visioning effort, committed to asking 25,000 people four questions about the future of our city.
These are only a few of the ways that Chattanooga has opened its arms to residents and visitors alike, but they are significant gestures that remind me of how very special this city is and continues to be 24/7.
So, what about ChattanoogaWorks?
A few months back, it dawned on CreateHere that all of the acts that take place at any given hour in Chattanooga are those which are worth documenting, and in that vein, ChattanoogaWorks was born.
ChattanoogaWorks is an online photo gallery that aims to highlight and showcase our local gems. From a neighborhood block-party, to a Sunday in the park, to an evening at the pub you frequent most, it’s all worth showing and sharing.
Whether you be an amateur or a professional photographer, ChattanoogaWorks cares not. We simply want to see how you capture our city through the eye of the lens. So, take a look at what’s been submitted and then share your story. It’s you and your vision that makes our city tick.
