At Chattanooga’s Houston Museum, An Artist In Residence

This majolica pitcher, featuring the Tennessee state flower, is part of the Houston Museum’s collection - and it was part of a larger series that featured different flowers from around the world, made in France by Onnaing pottery in the early 1900’s.

In the Bluff View Art District in downtown Chattanooga, you’ll find the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts.

Within its Victorian walls are antiques and collectibles from that era through the Depression era.

Just around the corner from the Hunter Museum of American Art, the Houston now has an artist-in-residence: Kris Bespalec.

On Friday, starting at 6 PM, she will give an artist talk - followed by a tour - at the Houston.
