ANNA SAFELY COLLECTION

CHA ART SPACE (Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport) / 1001 Airport Rd. January 10, 2023 - March 11, 2023

The current exhibit officially opened on January 10, 2023 and runs through early March, 2023. It is a unique departure from the usual exhibits that highlight local and regional artists, and instead highlights a small grouping of antique quilts as a special collaboration between The Houston Museum of Decorative Arts and CHA ART SPACE. The Houston is located in the historic Bluff View Arts district of Chattanooga, TN, in an 1890s Victorian-era home. The entire collection was amassed by one incredible woman, Anna Safly Houston, and features an amazing array of turn-of-the-century treasures, including blown glass pitchers, art glass baskets, music boxes, Tennessee-made furniture, German beer steins & so much more! These handcrafted quilts on display are from Anna’s collection and are just a small part of what the Houston Museum has to offer. Plan a visit and be amazed!
