The Pop-up Project’s (TPUP) mission is to build community connected through the power of dance and to nurture a vibrant, diverse, and sustainable arts economy that is unique and authentic to our area, while providing fair wage opportunities to local artists. TPUP offers youth and adult programming in majority BIPOC schools and community centers, provides career development opportunities for local dancers, and offers subsidized class/rehearsal space for artists in our community. By moving together, we are transforming Chattanooga into a place where everyone can experience more joy, belonging, and wonder.
