Giving is fun! Through photographs and activities explore how Chattanooga and Chattanoogans have benefited from the generosity of its citizens. Learn how the choices you make affect the world around you. See the widespread impact of helping others and learn what you can do - then do it! You can get involved immediately while at the Museum and have fun giving through cool art and building projects that will serve to meet needs in our community.

"Helping Hands" was made possible through funding from Benwood Foundation, Lyndhurst Foundation, United Way of Greater Chattanooga, Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, and Maclellan Foundation.

A View From My Window

Saturday, September 13, 2008 - Sunday, January 4, 2009.

A View From My Window is an international exhibition of children’s art produced by VSA arts. During the Fall of 2005, VSA arts asked children to take a snapshot of their lives and tell them about the view from their window. The final 57-piece exhibition reflects what these young artists see and imagine – whether the landscape outside or an illustration of their emotions. A View From My Window includes artwork by students with disabilities, grades K-12, from the United States, Albania, Argentina, Columbia, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. The exhibit debuted in Washington, DC at Union Station, June 5-25, 2006 in conjunction with VSA's Start With the Arts Family Festival.

VSA arts is an international, nonprofit organization founded in 1974 by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith to create a society where all people with disabilities learn through, participate in and enjoy the arts.
