Cultural Cross Ties connects people here in Chattanooga through art and conversation with people in our sister cities around the world.

This Friday, starting at 6 PM, Barking Legs Theater will host a free community event - highlighting the connections made between librarians, firefighters and artists in Chattanooga and our sister city of Hamm, Germany.

I spoke with Ann Law of Barking Legs Theater - and three of the Chattanoogans involved in this project: firefighter Alan Green, artist Denise Shropshire and librarian Lyn Hunter.
