Artists & Vendors

Bring your work into a place designed to celebrate color, craft, story, and creative commerce.

Chattanooga Decorative Arts Collective brings together art, interiors, textiles, furnishings, makers, designers, and creative commerce in one colorful destination.

CDAC was created for artists, makers, vendors, designers, collectors, and creative entrepreneurs who believe decorative arts should be seen, experienced, collected, and shared. CDAC is a destination where original work, beautiful objects, expressive interiors, and thoughtful design can come together in one vibrant environment.
Through our artists and vendors, the collective becomes more than a shop. It becomes a layered experience shaped by the people who create, curate, restore, source, design, and bring beautiful pieces into the world.

A Community Built Around Creative Commerce

CDAC is building a space where artists can be discovered, vendors can grow, designers can source with intention, and customers can shop pieces that feel personal, expressive, and alive.
This is a place for work with character. A place for materials that invite touch, colors that start conversations, objects with history, and makers with stories worth sharing.
If your work belongs in a setting where art, interiors, textiles, furnishings, makers, designers, and creative commerce meet, we invite you to introduce yourself.
