“For the artists, by the artists.”
Winder Binder Gallery & Bookstore Art will be staging this year’s fourth annual WHO-FEST event on May 29th and 30th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Renaissance Park in Chattanooga, TN.
Artists from nearly a dozen states will be represented. WHO-FEST is a unique opportunity to meet and purchase directly from the artist of an increasingly popular art movement. WHO-FEST was founded in 2004 as a grassroots effort “For the artists, by the artists.” Their mission is to host a major festival, representing exceptional folk, outsider, visionary and self-taught artists.
WHO-FEST is set up at Chattanooga’s Renaissance Park, located in North Chattanooga at 100 Manufacturers Road just behind the Bridgeview Condominiums at the Walnut Street Bridge.
For the third year, the Shaking Ray Levi Society will curate the music at WHO-FEST and has gathered a diverse lineup for this year’s event that promises to be action-packed and fun for folks of all ages!
