LIT

It has been a fun run. We have hosted several amazing artists from around the world and locally. We have created opportunities for artists, poets, and musicians to create. We are so thankful for the support our community gave us to get us as far as we did. We had become a free "business" in January and made each exhibition free to the public. We cared more about hosting awesome art shows and opportunities than making money or a successful business. It would last as long as we could afford it.

But Alas, we have decided to close LIT. We feel like we need the time to focus on our lives and our own work. A year ago we created this space, Leah Dalton and Adam Kirby. Now we are engaged, and plan to be married next year! LIT will always be in our hearts, and we may even bring it back to life. But for now we are moving in a different direction.

As for Chattanooga. It will always flourish as a city for the arts.
