Chattanooga. Townsend Atelier in Chattanooga notes the circle is a precise symbol of their work developing a community of regional artists. The CIRCLE art opening is coordinated with one of Chattanooga’s most dynamic winter events, Mainx24, on Saturday, Dec. 3. The exhibit continues through Dec. 30 and is free and open to the public.

“The cyclical tradition of artistic knowledge and skills being passed down from teacher to student through classes and mentorship is a time-honored tradition and one that we are proud to keep alive at our atelier. The strong circle of art community and friendships formed through our studio is so rewarding to be a part of.” —Peggy Wood Townsend

CIRCLE will make more than 150 original small and affordable artworks available for sale. Eac work is created by one of the sixty Townsend Atelier students and instructors from Tennessee and beyond. Each work is a 4-inch round paper board circle ready for mounting, framing, or other display.

The exhibit is on display through Dec. 30 at Townsend Atelier in The Arts Building, 301 East 11th St. in Chattanooga.

A Circle of Words features Chattanooga poet Erika Roberts-Blackmon, as “a poetic celebration of the completeness of circles. The unified boundaries of the circle. The circular breathing of poetic living.” The evening poetry hour begins at 6 p.m. and is also open to the public free of charge. Musician Demond Moultrie will accompany the poet.
