Thanks to the Arts Move Chattanooga program, which invited noted artists to move to Chattanooga offering them a $15,000 break on their mortgage, Chattanooga is now home to a host of painters, musicians, writers and sculptors. One of the sculptors who accepted the city’s invitation is Roger Halligan, who is also the Vice president of The Mid-South Sculpture Alliance. The Sculpture Alliance was formed by the noted sculptor, John henry, a decade ago. For their 10th anniversary the Alliance plans to spend a day celebrating John Henry. Richard Winham talked to John Henry and Roger Halligan, who told him he is one of John Henry’s biggest fans.
Richard Winham joined WUTC five years after the station began broadcasting to the Chattanooga area and the Tennessee Valley.
