WE WANT NEW ARTISTS IN OUR GALLERY!
Seriously - if you've got work you've been doing and never had a place to show it please get in touch. This Gallery is trying to be all about what and who is next out there in the realm of video artists, photographers and people that mix it up into whatever they can think of! WE LOVE photographia and multi media art and installation concepts so bring it! If we can change exhibits every month next year that would be amazing! But we gotta hear from you. If you want to show your work at asherlove please email asherlovegallery@gmail.com...

Phase III
Look, I'm not saying it has to happen this year, but how cool would it be to have one of THESE planted downtown somewhere---actually, plenty of open real estate on Main Street! Ours wouldn't be the standard StoryCorps issue...it'd be our own design. We could paint a train on the side of it...or better yet, have a constant rotation of projected photographs on the side. Ooooh, pretty.
We'll call this "Phase III."

Barefoot Workshops
Hey all, here's another organization we should familiarize ourselves with. Check out their mission statement: http://www.barefootworkshops.org/index.html
Although they certainly are trying, they can't be everywhere all at once. Let's get some of it going in Chattanooga and show the world how beautiful life is here!

National Funding Opportunities (I wasn't pulling your leg now!!)
Christie & Mary,
It was great to discuss possibilities in terms of funding and organizational development.
As I mentioned, I think it would be great if you all continue the work of organizational development - defining identify and envisioning the scope of activities that Capture Chattanooga might shelter. I continue to believe that Capture Chattanooga would be a unique and valuable organization, whether as a formal non-profit organization or a informal one (organized and active, but informal in name only). As an independant organization, it would have the freedom and flexibility to respond and incorporate emerging needs and opportunities, yet, with a vital core group of leadership, nurture a sense of identity and stability as resource and clearinghouse for all sorts of Chattanooga-creative endeavors. As i mentioned in our discussion, there is so much value that can come out of an organization such as this, and I am not just talking about the physical and data resources or even incredible works of arts. I am talking about the intangible but invaluable cultural and social impact that would come out of such an endeavor. In fact, I think that Capture Chattanooga, in its formative stage, is already making that kind of impact. We feel and hear it, though we can't touch and see it! Once organized, an entity like Capture Chattanooga could engender one-of-a-kind art projects and foster cultural and social change which would celebrated by all those involved, the community of Chattanooga.. and those beyond. After all, just because, Capture Chattanooga is all about the art and artists creating works in and about Chattanooga, the desire for successful community-cultural preservation and development is sgared by every engaged rural and urban community in this post-modern, globalized world. Not to be too expansive. :) If we are successful , our group could be a model for many other communities.
In the meantime, let's not limit ourselves. Yes, be realistic, and focus on these first steps for stability, identity and the capability to do initial projects, but with a perspective for the future. I believe if you have a great and far-reaching vision, you will always have supporters and partners inspired to help you continue the good work.
Anyway, just to show you that there ARE funding sources out there, here's a list of national art funders who fund INDIVIDUALS. (This is good for Capture Chattanooga because 501c3 status is not required, and these grants are tailored to the artist's and funders' area of mutual interest/activity.) This is just a summary. I have enclosed a link for the detailed google document below. If you have questions about the lingo or grant process, feel free to contact me: kimgrac@gmail.com.

DRAFT rev1.0
Capture Chattanooga is an interdisciplinary group of photographers, filmmakers, folklorists, storytellers, painters, musicians and writers working together to create and present culture-centered contextural works of art in, for, and about Chattanooga.
Capture Chattanooga will produce collaborative and solo projects including exhibits, live performances, publications, online multimedia, and film, and provide technical resources for Chattanoogans to creatively document their lives and archive their stories.
Because we recognize the synergistic potential of this location, Capture Chattanooga has chosen a studio space on Rossville Avenue. We join Terry Cannon, Ignis Glass Studios, Thomas Mann, and the Chattanooga Pulse in this burgeoning creative movement on the southside.
Our centralized location on the southside will put us literally at the crossroads both physically and metaphorically. We envision working in an open studio where anyone can see works in progress, record their own story in the soundbooth, search our archives, browse the current exhibit, make a purchase, or contribute ideas for our next project. We endeavour to create an atmosphere that inspires and illuminates our commitment to the bigger picture as a body of work.
In its first year, Capture Chattanooga will produce four unique events showcasing the intersection of artists in the collective, beginning with a portfolio exhibition of the group's principal artists. The entire series of exhibit events will be held in the all new Loose Cannon performance hall and gallery.

The statement
Is there no way to show how the doc has changed? I didn't see the old versus the new in the changes Mary & Christie had made.
