We have talked about Glass House Collective and Mark Making. Both groups are making a difference in the Chattanooga area during this pandemic - and Erika Roberts is a poet who is part of both. Erika also wrote and performed the spoken word piece seen last month as the introduction to Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke’s State of the City Address.

“Love Notes to Front Liners” are thank you notes by artists in the Chattanooga area, delivered to health care workers at local hospitals.

Glass House Collective is a nonprofit dedicated to bringing life back to Glass Street in East Chattanooga - but its work, especially now, people beyond those physical boundaries. During this pandemic, Glass House helped to raise money for art supply kits for students at Hardy Elementary School, so they could continue their assignments at home.
