The Pop-up Project
Our vision is to create a vibrant, diverse, and sustainable performing arts economy in Chattanooga, TN. One that is authentic and engaged with our community!
We build site-specific performances and films that are inspired from real stories within our community. We shine a light on the amazing visual and performing artists in Chattanooga, as well as spark the the flame of youth in our year round outreach program currently serving 400+ kids.

Est. 2017
The Pop-up Project was established and founded by Jules Downum and Mattie Cofield in Chattanooga, TN.


The Pop-up Project is an equal opportunity employer and provider of services. We do not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of our activities or operations.
We believe that difference makes our organization stringer. Our artists and audiences come from all walks of life and from a variety of backgrounds. The Pop-up Project respects, celebrates, and reflects the diversity that positively contributes to our community.
