NORTH CHATTANOOGA MURALS
This page shows pictures of one of two North Chattanooga Murals that were painted on concrete
embankments that straddle the same hill in North Chattanooga just across the river and visible from
downtown. The both depict what you would see if the embankments were not there: underground
life forms: ants beetles, snakes, roots, fossils, tunnels...all surrounded by dirt. Each wall was
painted by 20 participants from either the North Chattanooga Recreation Center or the Frances
Wyatt Recreation Center. All participants were between seven and fourteen years of age and
worked about 15 hours to accomplish their talk duri9ng the month of April, 2000. The mural were
facilitated by Frances McDonald and Dennis Palmer. The total budget of $3300 was funded by
an Arts Build Chattanooga Neighborhoods grant: a Community Block Developments: partnership
of Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga and Parks and Recreation of the City of Chattanoooga.
