Subfest is a summer’s day of live music, dancing, togetherness, and joy as a diverse Chattanooga (and beyond) audience celebrates local artistry in many forms. With varying genres from electronic music, to indie, to punk, to various types of rock, and more, Subfest has something for everyone’s tastes. The lineup highlights musicians from all different backgrounds, bands who are women-led, artists belonging to the queer community, and it maintains an age range from 20-year-olds to 60-year-olds. Subfest is open to the public, all ages, completely free admission, and a projection of about 500 attendees all on the campus of local non-profit Stove Works.
So what did we fund, exactly? The majority of the grant money went towards paying the local and regional performing artists for their talent and time. Additionally, a portion of the grant was used to pay two local photographers and a videographer to document Subfest. The UNFoundation supports diverse and inclusive missions. This fit like a latex glove. Whether through music, visual art, non-profit organizations, or local food vendors and small businesses, Subfest is a guaranteed good time and a great opportunity for connection, networking, and new friendships, all within Chattanooga.
