CreateHere's Chattaooga office has announced the list of 49 finalists for MakeWork grants.  There were 107 applicants for grants of up to $15,000.  The monumental task of coordinating the grant requests has fallen on the shoulders of Harv Wileman.  The Pulse, one of Chattanooga's weekly tabloids, has also featured a story on the grants.  In recent years, projects like these have provided local artists with outstanding support.  

Be sure to check out CreateHere's website, as they offer a good, consolidated look at not only MakeWork, but some other programs like SpringBoard and ArtsMove.

AVA's Member Salon Show opens Friday, May 1, and will include a copy of Gladiola IV by your's truly.  Early drop-offs of artwork were not allowed, so I was sure to be there fifteen minutes prior.  The line was out the door, and I have already had a sneak peek at some great paintings.  Larger works, smaller works, there's sure to be some good stuff over there.  Be sure to stop by.  Show runs until May 15.
