Artists & Vendors
Calling all creators of the unusually beautiful and unique—with a touch of old-world charm! Art 120 invites you to vend at the Dark Christmas Market, a one-night European-inspired winter festival on Saturday, November 8th from 6PM–10PM in Patten Square (818 North Georgia Ave).
We’re seeking artists, makers, and food vendors—especially those offering Polish, German, or European fare—to help transform the square into a festive, otherworldly bazaar filled with curious crafts, seasonal mischief, and strange delights. The night features live music, peculiar pastimes, and the debut of Chattanooga’s Wild Hunt procession.
Booth spaces are limited and fill fast—registration is first come, first served. Fees start at $50 for sole proprietors. Deadline to apply is October 11th.

Revelers & Performers
Are you the type who thrives in the weird and wonderful? Then we want you in the Wild Hunt.
For the first time ever, Chattanooga is summoning The Wild Hunt—a magical, high-drama procession inspired by old European folklore, rising from the shadows during Art 120’s Dark Christmas Market on Saturday, November 8th, from 7PM–9PM at Patten Square.
We’re calling on bold souls, wild hearts, and theatrical minds to become part of this living legend. Think: antlers, cloaks, fog, firelight, and frost. After the main procession? Let’s just say the mischief won’t stop there...
To help you get wild, we’re hosting workshops and gatherings throughout September and October—where you can craft your creature, build your look, and connect with fellow Hunters.
