“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 the Scenic City should forever be known as a vibrant creative capital, and we’re looking forward to honoring the individuals who share her vision and generous spirit.”
