ARLINE MANN: THE FOREVER HOUSE

Customs House Museum / 200 South 2nd St. August 7 - October 26th

Arline Mann

The Forever House exhibition brings into a loving light a magical place—Elder Mountain (near Chattanooga), and the stone house built on the mountain around 1923 by George Elder with materials from that mountain—the first home erected there after the Cherokee were marched out in the 1840s on the Trail of Tears. The exhibition encompasses interiors, still life, and landscapes of the world that is the Elder House by Arline Mann, an award-winning watercolorist and the current resident of Elder House. Mann’s paintings are displayed among historic photographs of Elder House and Elder Mountain, with text relating the history of both.
