Calling all Black professionals in the Chattanooga area! The Hunter Museum is hosting its next BP@TH (Black Professionals at The Hunter) event, a free bimonthly series designed to celebrate community, culture and connections, on Mon., Oct. 7, from 5:45-8 p.m.
This month’s theme is “Glamorous Graffiti: Art, Beats, Fashion & Dance,” promising an evening filled with artistic exploration, live performances, and a chance to connect with fellow Black professionals.
The event kicks off with a guided tour of the Hunter’s special exhibition, City as Canvas: Graffiti Art from the Martin Wong Collection. Led by BP@TH committee members, the tour will delve into the world of graffiti art and its impact on urban landscapes.
Following the tour, attendees can loosen up and enjoy a performance by dancer Ryan Roberts. DJ MCPRO will keep the energy high with music, joined by rapper C-Grimey for an extra dose of artistic expression.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Get ready to bust a move on the dance floor and show off your best ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s East Coast-inspired outfit. Feeling creative? Leave your mark on the BP@TH collective graffiti art project, a collaborative effort that embodies the artistic spirit of the evening.
To fuel your artistic endeavors, delicious treats from BeBe’s Brunch & Soulfood will be available. And for those who want to keep the party going, details and location of an “after-hours” gathering will be announced at the event.
The Hunter Museum is located at 10 Bluff View. Launched in 2018 by the museum’s African American Advisory Committee as part of a vision for making the Hunter more welcoming to Chattanooga’s African American community, BP@TH is a bimonthly series of free art-focused social events at the museum.
