A group came together to establish In-Town Gallery in 1974, a time when there were very few opportunities for Chattanooga area artists and fine craftsmen to exhibit and sell their work locally. The gallery moved to its current location, a vintage building in the popular NorthShore area of Chattanooga, more than 20 years ago. Now one of the oldest artist cooperatives in the U.S., In-Town Gallery continues to exhibit the best in fine American craft and contemporary art by established local artists. The artwork includes paintings in oils, acrylics, watercolor, mixed media and encaustics, as well as photography, etchings, sculpture, jewelry, fiber art, glass, woodwork and pottery. The membership includes many award-winning artists who also exhibit in major venues, art fairs and galleries in other areas of the country.
