“Being a piano and organ player, I favor the terpsichorean arts, so I’m particularly psyched that the season for outdoor live music is upon us. Concerts in The Grove at GPAC, one of the best places for that, will host the MD’s, as fine a Booker T. & the MG’s tribute band as you could ask for, on June 18th, so that’s a no-brainer for me. But I’m also a film buff, and I can’t miss the special screening of Jaws at the Orpheum Theatre on June 20th (which I vividly recall seeing in the cinema when I was 10) — especially since attending Chloe Claudel’s stellar underground theater production Time Passes in Brooklyn this year, a vivid reimagining of Ellen Brody, the wife from Spielberg’s blockbuster, reciting all her lines from Jaws, plus a chapter from Viginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse.” - Alex Greene, Composer, Rolling Head Orchestra | Music Editor, Memphis Flyer

"Act fast and see Mary Sims: A Retrospective at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens during its final weekend! This exceptional exhibition features decades’ worth of works by one of our region’s most celebrated artists. The color, realism, and extraordinary attention to detail should not be missed. Be sure to pick up the beautiful exhibition catalog, which includes an insightful essay by renowned art historian Marina Pacini.” - Amanda Goetze

Now is the time to recognize the power of art. 

Why now? With over 20 arts organizations celebrating a major anniversary here in Memphis this year, this is not about a moment or a singular milestone — it’s a movement.

The visionaries behind these institutions have accomplished the unimaginable while creating work that moves and inspires both our community and the world. Now is the time to unapologetically recognize that work: the art, the artists, the organizations, and the impact.

Art is at the heart of Memphis’ brand, our culture and our unique position. You can’t define or describe our city without the culture that weaves us all together — the music, the visual art, the food, the fashion, and the creative energy. Join us in recognizing the power of art.
