Sponsor Stove Works!

For the last five years, we have worked tirelessly to support Artists and to position Contemporary Art as essential in catalyzing conversations about the personal, local, and global events we move through as individuals and as a community.

There are countless ways that you can support these conversations through sponsorship: Program, Project, and Event Sponsorship. More information below.

Let us know what piques your interest, and we’ll follow up with you!

Exhibitions

Our Exhibitions program draws from diverse geographies, materials, and practices. In the last 5 years, Stove Works has exhibited more than 480 Artists in over 84 different exhibitions.

Learn more about our Exhibitions

  • Main Gallery: Primary Gallery Space at Stove Works (5,400 sq ft). The main gallery is the site of 3 guest curated exhibitions each year: two are curated by national emerging Curators and the other, RED DOT, is curated by a regional Curator of Artists-in-Residence that stayed on site over the last year.

    Side Galleries: The Side Spaces (1,300 sq. ft.) primarily house one or two-person exhibitions or group shows organized by regional organizations.

    The Library: The Library (500 sq. ft.) is reserved for month-long shows organized by Artists or Curators in the 17-county area surrounding Chattanooga. The Library has become the best way for Chattanooga’s Arts community to have an authorship stake in our programming.

  • Guest Curators (2 Exhibitions annually) allow us to maintain diverse perspectives touching on relevant issues in Contemporary Practice. The program is a rare opportunity that provides emerging curators the space, support, and resources to gain professional experience, propelling their careers forward.

    The Side Spaces (4 - 5 exhibitions annually) primarily house one or two-person exhibitions or group shows organized by external organizations and our exhibition team.

    The Library (10 exhibitions annually) is reserved for short-term shows organized by Artists or Curators in our community. The Library has become the best way for Chattanooga’s arts community to have an authorship stake in our programming.

    Please see our exhibition page for upcoming exhibitions.

 
 

PRograms

Our no-admission-fee policy ensures that people with limited financial resources can participate in our programming. This better enables us to use Contemporary Art as a bridge to learn from each other and build relationships that strengthen our communities.  In the last 5 years, Stove Works has hosted over 450 programs onsite, ranging from monthly Artist presentations to courtyard events.

  • Classroom: The Classroom (1,200 sq. ft.) houses the programs that help deepen our audience’s connection to Contemporary Art. It is the location for our Resident-led workshops, our Professional Development series, and our Teen Curators program.
