First Horizon Pavilion is a former foundry on the Tennessee River on the southside of downtown Chattanooga. It is now a thriving event site featuring great indoor amenities -- indoor restrooms, a roof, easy access to electricity -- and open air sides that allow for great airflow so artists and attendees alike can enjoy the spring weather.
Each year 4BAF makes its debut at the Preview Party. The Party attracts close to 1,000 local art enthusiasts: patrons who attend to support the visual arts. Most importantly, the Preview Party is a unique opportunity for artists to promote and sell their work while networking and socializing with passionate advocates and collectors.
Awards
AVA celebrates the visual arts by distributing over $20,000 in cash prizes. The 2023 jury panel has the discretionary privilege of selecting honorees and presenting the awards. The jury panel’s decisions are final.
- "I just wanted to thank you so much for all your hard work in coordinating such a great show! This show kicked off my year, and as I look forward to upcoming shows, I just hope they'll be as seamless, fun, and accommodating as you all were this past weekend. Thanks again!"
- "I met the most amazing people who, I sure, will become more than just someone I saw at the art show. I feel that my world became bigger and my heart feels full. I would love to come back next year if the jurors would invite me."
- "This was the best show that I’ve exhibited at that had such great artist amenities and also such a great understanding of how to treat the customers coming through. The thought put into both the artists and customers is something I haven’t seen before. "
The show is perfectly timed just a couple of weeks before
Mothers Day and in the thick of wedding season -
a great place to buy gifts or look for a piece to decorate a new home!
