The Sweet Potato Festival marks the opening of The Museums’ new kitchen exhibit. The kitchen is a fundamental component of the museums’ health initiative, which aims to promote healthy lifestyles for children and their families. The kitchen exhibit was made possible through the generous sponsorships of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Health Foundation, Newman’s Own Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The kitchen exhibit will be home to a wide variety of educational programs designed to let families discover nutritional eating. At the Sweet Potato Festival, the kitchen will be holding their own program in which a local guest chef will demonstrate to children how they can create their own delicious and nutritional sweet potato dishes.

As a part of the Sweet Potato Festival, there will be a number of activities and programs designed for children to be both imaginative and hands-on. A local artist in residence will be available for the children to watch as they creatively mold a sculpture out of actual sweet potatoes. Downstairs, children will be given the opportunity to create their own “potato stamp” and “potato-look-alike” art creations. Furthermore, each child will be given their own sweet potato kit. Each kit will include everything necessary for the child to plant and grow their very own sweet potatoes at home.

Upstairs, children will be invited to participate in a number of sweet potato themed games hosted by a local media personality. These games include sack races, spoon races and a “hot” sweet potato game. Children are able to win a number of prizes throughout these games, which will be given out towards the end of the festival by the host. There will also be a delectable sweet potato buffet available upstairs, providing savory samples of popular sweet potato dishes. These dishes will include sweet potato muffins, sweet potato soup, sweet potato pie and baked sweet potatoes. However, these dishes are subject to change before the event.

Museum admission is $9.95 for adults and children. For more information, call (423) 756-2738 or visit www.cdmfun.org

Artist info...

Eugene Chadbourne is a rare guitarist/banjo player and off-kilter songwriter, who is equally comfortable with bluegrass, folk, or free jazz. With a career spanning four decades, he has worked with a wide range of artists such as Camper Van Beethoven, John Zorn, Violent Femmes, They Might Be Giants, Jimmy Carl Black, and Sun City Girls. http://www.eugenechadbourne.com/

Joel Grip, from Sweden, is an improvising double bassist who has given performances around the world as both a soloist and a collaborator. He uses his energy to combine diverse people’s talents and organizes festivals, including the annual art-flow festival Hagenfesten. He runs the label Umlaut Records. http://umlautrecords.com/joelgrip

Evan Lipson is a bassist and composer with roots predominantly based in modernist classical, punk, jazz, outsider pop, noise, and free improvisation. Following his own occult research and forms of practical synthesis, Lipson's efforts strive towards cultivating the rarefied, esoteric, and iconoclastic world(s) of unconventional music. He plays in several ensembles, including Normal Love, Satanized, Dynamite Club, and Hisswig, and is a recent recipient of a CreateHere ArtsMove grant.

Tatsuya Nakatani is a percussionist originally from Osaka, Japan. In the past 10 years he has released nearly 50 recordings on CD, and he has created his own instrumentation and extended techniques. He utilizes a drum set, bowed gongs, cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects, bells, and various sticks and bows to create an intense, organic music that defies genre. His music is based in improvised/ experimental music, jazz, free jazz, rock, and noise, yet retains the sense of space and beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music.

Ernest Paik is a multi-instrumentalist who has composed and recorded music as a solo artist for film, television, and radio.

The Shaking Ray Levis (Dennis Palmer and Bob Stagner) use analog synths, vocal-tellin' and percussion to achieve their Southern Ol' Time Avant-Garde sound. They are the first American group to have recorded for Incus Records, one of the world's most important improvisation-based record labels, founded by legendary guitarist Derek Bailey. Along with Bailey, they have also performed and recorded with the Rev. Howard Finster, Min Tanaka, David Greenberger, Fred Frith, Amy Denio, John Zorn, Borbetomagus, Tom Cora, Roger Turner, and Tony Oxley. http://www.myspace.com/theshakingraylevis

Noah Collins is pure, Americana. And at 24 years old, his reputation as one of the region’s hottest up and coming independent folk artists is growing like wildfire.

A Chattanooga native, Noah Collins lived in the Dominican Republic for twenty-four months. It was there in the “campos” where Collins says he developed his percussive finger picking style. 2007 brought him back home to begin work on his debut release Heart on a Line. Americana-UK gave the album 7 of 10 stars after its release in 2008.

With coarse, heart-filled vocals comparable to Manchester-born musician David Gray and American songwriter Jackson Browne, Noah Collins delivers a moving performance. A compositional minimalist, Collins compliments simple words with discreet rhythms.
