Denice's Sustainable Art & Thrifting

Denice Bizot

Denice Bizot loves shopping at Goodwill. “I started thrifting when I was 18 or 19 years old,” said Denice. “I don’t like the thought of something going into a landfill. I’m even wearing some items from Goodwill today.”

Denice doesn’t just look for clothing and household items when she’s thrift shopping. She specifically looks for items she can repurpose.

“I’ve always used found objects. I repurpose and reinterpret the things I find," said Denice. "Recently, I came across some stretched canvas panels at the Goodwill store, and I thought, why not? Art for me involves constant evolution, and I find the idea of doing something different exciting.”

*Denice’s artwork is in many private collections, including that of Catherine Zeta-Jones. You can view and purchase Denice’s canvas and metal art at the In-Town Gallery at 26A Frazier Avenue in Chattanooga.

The next time you’re shopping at Goodwill, maybe you’ll find something that sparks your creativity. The possibilities are endless!

Today is a great day to visit a Goodwill store near you or explore one you haven’t visited before: www.goodwillchatt.org/locations

Goodwill & the Chattanooga i-team

October 19, 2026

The Goodwill Opportunity Center is excited to be working alongside the Chattanooga i-team. What is an i-team, you ask? The City of Chattanooga’s Innovation Team (i-team) utilizes the Path to Public Innovation, a methodology that centers residents and their perspectives in the process to design new solutions. In alignment with the City of Chattanooga’s One Chattanooga Works strategic initiative, the i-team is tackling complex challenges through data and community engagement, and working with city leaders, residents, nonprofit organizations, and other stakeholders to test and implement new ideas focused on workforce development. As part of this initiative, the i-team hosted in-person discussions and ideation sessions at the Goodwill Opportunity Center. During these ideation sessions, Goodwill participants and community members generated ideas about how to grow professional networks, find and access information and opportunities, better understand what jobs are currently available, and what skills, knowledge, and experience are needed for key career pathways. I-team Director Liza Soydan and her team are currently prototyping new solutions to help people gain exposure to available jobs in the Chattanooga area.
