4 Bridges Art Festival: Patron Preview Party

Patron Preview Party

The dates for 4 Bridges Arts Festival 2010 are April 17th & 18th, 2010 with the Patron Preview Party, Friday Night, April 16th, 2010, 6:30 to 10pm

The 4 Bridges Arts Festival Patron Preview Party is an exquisite event held in the open-air First Tennessee Pavilion on the Friday evening before the festival begins. Guests will get an exclusive preview of the fine artwork from 150 of the nation's most talented artists. Being surrounded by the amazing artwork is the perfect atmosphere for enjoying live music, delicious food catered by Carrabba's Italian Grill, an open bar, and hand-selected wines. If you are interested in purchasing artwork at the festival, you will get first choice at the Preview Party. You might also consider supporting the festival by joining the Patron Program - a unique process in which art buyers and collectors make monetary pledges regarding their level of spending on artwork at the festival. These special patrons receive "Bridge Bucks" (in the form of tokens), which are used to purchase art. Artists then redeem their "Bridge Bucks" at the close of the festival. In the five years since it began, the 4 Bridges Patron Program has become a hallmark of the best that Chattanooga is and can become. By demonstrating that Chattanoogans support the arts in very tangible ways, participants have spread the word to practicing artists across the country. As a result, more than 700 artists applied to participate in this year�s festival. Approximately 150 artists were selected to exhibit their painting, glasswork, jewelry, textiles, sculpture and more.
