InterMission will also serve as ArtsBuild’s annual recognition event for the recipients of the Ruth Holmberg Arts Leadership Award. This award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the arts in Chattanooga and who are actively engaged in the cultural life of the community— “Arts Builders” who exemplify ArtsBuild’s mission to build a stronger community through the arts as demonstrated by their significant contributions to the arts and their leadership. Nominations for this year’s Ruth Holmberg Arts Leadership Award are now open and may be accessed at

“Ruth Holmberg’s legendary love of the arts continues to enrich the lives of Chattanoogans every day,” says ArtsBuild Board member and InterMission Co-Chair Miles Huff. “She believed that the Scenic City should forever be known as a vibrant creative capital, and we can’t wait to honor the individuals who share her vision and generous spirit.”
