History Funhouse: The Wayne-O-Rama Story - through Dec 31, 2023

Wayne-O-Rama is now closed! It was open from Nov. 19, 2016 through Sept. 30, 2017. Designed by Emmy-winning artist Wayne White, it's a funhouse of Chattanooga history for all ages. Wayne-O-Rama is sponsored by See Rock City, Inc. and presented by The Shaking Ray Levi Society at the Tenn Arts space, with generous support from the Benwood Foundation, the Footprint Foundation, the Lyndhurst Foundation and the McKenzie Foundation.


Founded in 1986, the Shaking Ray Levi Society is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit arts education organization.

The mission of the Shaking Ray Levi Society is to nurture and support music, film, and performance art that is challenging, non-traditional, and falls outside the mainstream, in order to help nourish the cultural growth of Chattanooga.

This is done by sponsoring shows by artists recognized on a national and international level, supporting original work by area musicians and filmmakers, and engaging the community through workshops and educational outreach programs.

"Only in our country are our children not receiving the benefits of the dynamic energies taking place in our culture and in the heritage of our culture and so, the work of the Shaking Ray Levi Society in my opinion is very important because they are seeking to provide an alternative to the marketplace dynamics." - composer, saxophonist and MacArthur fellowship recipient Anthony Braxton (video)

"SRLS is a very sound organization that has made a strong contribution to Chattanooga over the years" - Dr. Thomas Wolf, WolfBrown

The Srls is a funded agency of Allied Arts.

 

FILM PRODUCTION INTERNSHIPS:

>outreach

SRLS is currently looking for high school and college students who are interested in participating in our Film Production Internship program--no prior experience required, though experience is a plus. Interns will assist in the production of a large-scale feature-length film that SRLS is set to begin producing sometime before the end of the year (exact dates of production are not yet set). This project is funded in part by an Arts Build Communities Grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission and Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga. Some interns will assist in the building of sets, others will perform light production duties (such as grip, camera assistant, etc.).

We are looking to fill approximately 10-15 internship positions for High School students, and perhaps 10 positions for college students. Interviews of applicants are scheduled to begin shortly. If you or someone you know might be interested in one of these internships, please contact Jarrod Whaley via this form, and be sure to include the word "internships" in the subject line of your email.
