THE END OF AN ERA … Area 61 Gallery closed permanently at the end of our lease, December 2024 — Our small business operating expenses paired with downtown rents were no longer sustainable, so we made the difficult decision to let the space go ==> more about that Here.
We’ve celebrated and supported local artists since 2009 within the Downtown Chattanooga footprint — first at 61 E. Main Street in the Southside district and for the past five years, in the heart of the city center on Broad Street. We are grateful for the many wonderful connections and friendships we’ve made through our shared love of art. Thank you for supporting our artists and gallery through the years.
a glimpse… Below, Inside the Gallery, are mini-gallery images over the years from our gifted artist community and their featured artist shows. The gallery space was always changing with sales and new arrivals and offered a year-round art show for the artists in their hometown. In the Gallery Artists section, you can find links to the gallery artists’ continued online presence through their websites and social media platforms — click through and follow their juried-art show schedules or find where their art is shown in other galleries.
