    This small exhibition encapsulates much of what is enthralling, mesmerizing, unsettling, and unusual about Eggleston's work. As has often been noted many of the images look like snapshots that could come from a family photo album -- the dog sleeping on the porch, the roses growing against the building. But then there is the view into the freezer full of frost and frozen food that begs the question, why is this worthy of my attention? And yet the image is riveting. All of the pictures require careful scrutiny to experience fully the composition, the structure that comes from curbs, window frames, clapboarding, or corrugated tin, as well as the potential meaning within the individual photo. Whether seemingly pleasant or disturbing, Eggleston's works reward patient viewing.

    • 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.
