Incline Art Crawl set for mid-October Artists and crafters can submit work now

Plans are underway for St. Elmo’s very first Incline Art Crawl, Oct. 14-15, 2017. The biannual crawl will “POP-UP” along the Incline tracks on Old Mountain Road - a unique location for its visibility at a highly-visited tourist attraction. Located at the foot of Lookout Mountain, this is the perfect setting for a fall art exhibit where locals and tourists can linger longer and circulate throughout our pedestrianfriendly business district.

Makers, upcyclers, designers, fashionistas, art students or master geniuses please read attached Call to Artists for details about submission.

Incline Art Crawl (IAC) will benefit the community by integrating all that speaks to the soul of diverse Appalachian urban culture: its history and its dynamic presence. Residents appreciate affordable modern living in a 19th century village, its architectural gems, and its diverse mix of neighbors knowing their neighbors for multi generations. All of that is rapidly facing extinction, and a festive block party will draw the older folk out to mingle and celebrate with the cultural creatives, the kids and everyone in between.

The Incline itself is part of the cultural richness. The iconic and oft-photographed mass transit railway is the gateway to our world of visitors. A large outdoor art show during fall foliage will be a lovely spectacle. Rather than a kudzucovered run-down looking neighborhood, tourists on-board will see a cultural celebration of locals in the center of an attractive business district.
