On Wednesday afternoon, live here on WUTC, Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly joined us for our monthly conversation. Among the topics: the just unveiled Parks & Outdoors Plan, the city’s first in 25 years.

Richard Winham shares a session from Pinkfone, recorded live downtown at The Chattanooga Public Library.

As this country has evolved over nearly 250 years, so has the painting of its vast and varied landscapes. That artistic journey is at the heart of “In Nature’s Studio: Two Centuries of American Landscape Painting” - now on display at the Hunter Museum of American Art here in Chattanooga.
