Inmates at the Hamilton County Jail received art classes for ten weeks, culminating in the creation of a 400 square foot mural of their own design and execution of outer space. Mark Making, with funding from the State of Tennessee was able to bring lead artist Charlie Newton and supporting artists Rondell Crier, Frances McDonald and David Riall into the jail with supplies to teach and encourage artistic expression. The mural, “Universe Space” in the jail’s fourth floor classroom will be documented with a photo exhibit to be held in the Hamilton County-Chattanooga Courts Building lobby.

Please join us tomorrow, February 5, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. in the Hamilton County-Chattanooga Courts Building Lobby to view this exhibit documenting Mark Making’s latest mural “Universe Space.” The exhibit will remain open until May 3, 2013.
