Inaugural Chattanooga Ornament 2022

Based on art by Darron DeSantis, this ornament is the first official Christmas Ornament of Chattanooga.

Darron taught in public preschools and elementary schools in New England for 14 years. In 2010, after being unlawfully terminated from employment, he became homeless and jobless for the first time in his life. After a brief rocky period, Mr. DeSantis became a member of Chattanooga’s AIM Center and received treatment for bipolar disorder. He is an active volunteer at his church, as well as at his local Masonic Lodge. He continues to find solace in creating art, primarily enjoying illustration with pen and ink as well as watercolor.

Our artists come from varied underserved backgrounds and circumstances: those experiencing homelessness, living with mental and physical disabilities, disabled veterans, women fleeing abusive situations, political refugees, and others. Our community programs are designed to serve our wide range of populations.

Where your money goes

The Artist

Supporting those most in need, the artist gets most of the proceeds of every sale. Buying an artist's work helps support their recovery and growth.

The Gallery

We are proud to run the H♥ART Gallery as a self-sustaining 501(c)3 non-profit. 30% of your purchases goes to the gallery to fund our work in the community.

Artist's Choice

Every artist picks a nonprofit to which they donate 10% of the proceeds made by their art. Our artists often select nonprofits which helped them get back on their feet when the most needed it.
