On Thursday evening, Stove Works here in Chattanooga will host “Art from the Inside.”

The one-time event, starting at 6 PM, will feature artwork created and inspired by inmates in this area - as well as performances shaped by inmates - all presented by a few local nonprofits.

Frances McDonald is executive director of Mark Making.

Chattanooga City Councilwoman Demetreus Coonrod - who told her own story last year in her book, “From Prison to Purpose: A Past That Shaped My Future” - is CEO of Re-wake.
