Featuring "Wizardry With Wood"
by Roger Harvey
December 1 - 31
Roger Harvey is a magician with wood. Using curves, complex surfaces and fluid lines, Roger’s creations soar. Bowls, lamps, and vases become distinctive. "Wizardry With Wood", opens December 1st, with a reception Wednesday, December 6th 5-8pm.
“I’m currently focusing on ‘globe’ lamps,” Harvey says. "They are ... turned on a lathe with circular cross sections, and some have multiple axes that generate three to five curved sides spiraling up from the base. That’s very difficult to explain but the effect is beautiful. Come to the gallery to see them!”.

Meet Anh Bao: Join us for First Friday celebration
October 6, 5pm-8pm
"In the heart of the night, when the bustling rhythms of the day are replaced by a serene stillness, Chattanooga transforms into a mesmerizing canvas of lights and shadows. I want my viewers to experience the city in a new light—literally and metaphorically."
Anh Bao Tran-Le is a travel, wildlife, landscape, and portrait photographer, currently based in Chattanooga, TN. Anh Bao's artistic vision is to inspire a sense of curiosity, while also encouraging people to explore and appreciate their neighborhoods in Chattanooga and the communities around them.
In this After Dark Series, Anh Bao weaves together the historic architecture, modern structures, and waterways that define Chattanooga's identity to wonder, explore, and invoke nostalgia in viewers through his photographic process.

SEPTEMBER:
"Earth Crush"
Featured Sculptor: Denice Bizot
On Display Throughout September
Meet Denice: Join us for First Friday celebration
September 1, 5pm-8pm
A sculptor who works primarily with metals, Denice Bizot is an important member of the Chattanooga arts scene. Noted for her original use of found materials and her freewheeling sense of design, she creates abstract pieces of power and beauty. “I primarily use a plasma torch to cut and sculpt both new and repurposed metal.”
“My passion for our huge space rock, spinning through the solar system, has grown immensely through the years. Her abundant beauty is astounding. Known as Gaia by many in the spiritual community, she provides us with minerals, flora, trees and animals in incredible abundance. I believe working with metal is a direct way to celebrate the Earth.”

Roger Harvey will be featured
again in December ...
Have you ever wondered how Roger Harvey makes his beautiful objects in wood? Watch him in action at In-Town Gallery as he demonstrates his methods and answers questions about his work. Using curves, complex surfaces and fluid lines, Roger makes his creations soar. Bowls, lamps, and vases become unique artistic statements.
“I have designed and made objects for as long as I can remember,” says Harvey. “My current passion is wood working, most of which I turn on a lathe using locally sourced wood. Much of the wood has been aged for a year or more before use. The aging allows the fungi that cause rot to produce beautiful dark lines and coloration changes. The process is called ‘spalting’. I also use a ‘live edge’ technique which incorporates the tree bark as a visual element in the turned object.”
The art has been removed.
