Exhibition Program and Facilities

Stove Works provides space and supporting services for exhibitions of contemporary art open to the public. We offer several exhibitions per year, free to the public, where works of promising artists are displayed. Introducing material that inspires engagement, imagination, intellectual vulnerability, and exchange is central to our activities.

The exhibition space presents an inclusive environment where outreach and education are primary concerns. This dynamic approach enables Stove Works, residents of Chattanooga, and the region to grow as thoughtful, inquisitive, and empathic communities. 

All exhibitions and related programing are free of charge. Stove Works will not engage in the sale of art nor earn commission for sale of a work that has been exhibited at Stove Works; We seek to feature artists trying to tackle complex issues regardless of commercial viability and popularity of their work.
