    In conjuction with UAC's "Interactions/Interruptions" 10 years of Public Art. "Mural Project" Anthony Lee is a young African American artist whose previous work includes elements of drawing, painting and collage. Anthony attended Central High School, has exhibited at the Brooks Museum of Art and has been selected by the UrbanArt Commission to create a public artwork for Pierotti Park, a City of Memphis Parks Division project that is currently in the design process. Anthony’s project for our 10th Anniversary is to enhance a large wall on South Main Street with brightly colored vinyl decals to visually enhance what is currently the vast blank wall of the train station. Entitled "Modern Hieroglyphs", this project helps to take symbols from our everyday lives and present them in a public space to force the viewer to question the symbols' meanings and design when taken out of their quotidian context.

    • ArtsMemphis logo

      Known around the world for its blues and rock and roll, Memphis has a recognizable special vibe. ArtsMemphis exists to nurture this unique character and to magnify the city’s creative voice. We are a 45-year-old arts funding organization (the sixth largest in the United States), which provides annual operating and project support to 23 arts groups and administers some 150 additional grants on a year to year basis. The ArtsMemphis tagline is “your support matters” and indeed it does. As major fundraisers, grant-makers and arts promoters in the city, ArtsMemphis contributed more than $4 million to the Memphis arts community in 2007, and it is a fact that 95 cents of every dollar raised in our annual campaign is directed to our funded organizations. ArtsMemphis builds partnerships among artists, arts groups, donors, educators and culture lovers throughout the city and region. Recognizing that a lively arts scene has a major economic impact and is essential to the quality of life in Memphis, ArtsMemphis is encouraging the entire community to interact with the arts like never before. The current enhanced website with its expanded calendar of events has been introduced with that goal in mind.
