Welcome to the City of Chattanooga's Education, Arts & Culture Website

The Department of Education Arts & Culture (EAC) led by Administrator Missy Crutchfield and City Councilwoman Sally Robinson, is the creative office of the Littlefield administration. This is where ideas flow and creative opportunities flourish for education and outreach. Many projects are already underway. Renovation and restoration are continuing in the civic facilities to maintain first class venues to present top level performances and programs.

The EAC has a mission to develop a broad base of programs that will give residents of all ages, incomes and ethnicity a chance to connect the dots between social issues and the arts.

The EAC emphasizes mentoring, new approaches to literacy and learning, purpose-driven social networking events, multi-cultural outreach, and gender-specific programs for boys and girls emphasizing healthy relationships and peer-to-peer programs. Our anti-gang initiative emphasizes team building and arts-based career programs.

Our programs and events are open to the entire community.
