Art by Design: Meet the Designers
River City Lifestyle | Amy Birdsong Golden
Art by Design is this Spring’s most highly anticipated event. After a five year hiatus, the Mid- South’s premier interior design event returns Wednesday, April 3rd through Sunday, April 7th - bigger and better than ever. Presented by First Horizon, Art by Design is a curated series of events, parties and programming designed to highlight Memphis’ interior design community and simultaneously support the local arts community. Centered around vignettes and arts activations in a gallery showroom format, this production has raised more than $700,000 for ARTSmemphis since 2016.
It's an impressive Before and After for the designers who will transform the brand-new location, Agricenter International, from a cavernous space to a showcase full of inspiration. RKA Construction will build a room for each designer and the wildly creative design crews will take over. Original artwork from local artists will be on display throughout the showroom.
Led this year by Amy Golden, HGTV Design Star Carmeon Hamilton, and Ann Parker of Parker Design Studio, the event is expected to attract over 2,000 attendees from across the Mid-South. The week is comprised of a series of five signature events coupled with general admission. Attendees will have the opportunity not only to see the latest and greatest in the design world, but to shop at the new Marketplace at Art by Design. Added to the mix for 2024, several vignettes will be created by emerging local designers who are new to the design industry.
The 2024 designers include: Ami Austin Interior Design, Maggie Clarke Interiors, Hayley Davis Interiors, Driscoll Design, Tara Felice Interiors, Carmeon Hamilton & Colin Chapman, Nubi Interiors, Caroline Lovelace, Lovelace Studios, Varner Macaskill Interiors, Elizabeth Malmo Interior Design, Lindley Martens Design, Selena McAdams, Spruce, Parker Design Studio, David Quarles IV, Studio 417, Lee Pruitt Interior Design, A.
