Beginning Statement of Purpose

Here's the beginning of a statement of purpose from this morning's meeting. Please share your thoughts.

Capture Chattanooga is an interdisciplinary group of photographers, filmmakers, historians, folklorists, storytellers, painters, musicians and writers working together to explore, document, preserve, and share Chattanooga’s people, history, & neighborhoods through the arts.

Capture Chattanooga will produce collaborative and solo shows including performance arts, gallery shows, online multimedia and film, and provide technical resources for Chattanoogans to document their lives and archive their stories.

In its first year, Capture Chattanooga will produce four shows, beginning with a portfolio showing of participating artists in the brand new Loose Cannon performance hall and gallery.

In our space on the south side, visitors can see works in progress, visit the recording booth to record their own story, search our archives and library for information and photographs, or offer ideas for our next project.
