Chantelle’s mantra: to work is human, to play is divine permeates every part of her life and her works. She has not only impacted neighborhoods in good times, her contagious joy has also served to lift communities in their darkest hour including residents of a post-Katrina New Orleans.
Chantelle Rytter is a parade artist best known for creating the wildy successful annual Lantern Parade at the Atlanta Beltline, one of the most high-profile urban redevelopment projects in the region. She has since created additional equally popular parades that have fostered a sense of identity in neighborhoods in other parts of the Metro Atlanta area.
