About
Art 120 is known for getting art off the walls and into our schools for over 15 years because children of ALL ages need to develop their creative ingenuity through hands on skill building, cultural enrichment, and curiosity based learning. Albert Einstein said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun” and our mission is to ensure EVERY child knows how brilliant they are. We have a roster of over sixty artists from around the country and operate within about a 120 mile radius of Chattanooga, Tennessee. They currently serve over 5,000 youth and forty teachers a year.
