Including rare textiles, fine regional furniture, evocative paintings, and early silver from Memphis makers, Around Tennessee showcases works made in the state and surrounding regions. In particular, the exhibition features several examples of Tennessee furniture, including the rare Wilson County Sugar Sideboard recently given to the Brooks by the Decorative Arts Trust. Likewise, it offers visitors a chance to see works from the Wolfe Bequest, which brought an extraordinary group of early Mississippi quilts into the collection. Around Tennessee also includes a selection of Carl Gutherz's immensely popular paintings as well as examples of Nonconnah pottery.

About ArtsMemphis
- 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.
Bravo Memphis
