Art by Design

April 3 - 7 | Agricenter International | BUY TICKETS

Presented by First Horizon, Art by Design is a curated series of events and presentations 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 was founded in 2016 by Greg Baudoin and has raised more than $700,000. 

Led this year by stylist Amy Golden, HGTVDesign Star Carmeon Hamilton, and Ann Parker of Parker Design Studio, the fifth Art by Design—a series of four signature events coupled with general admission—will feature a cast of emerging and established Memphis designers and is expected to attract over 2,000 attendees from across the Mid-South. To discuss sponsorship opportunities, contact Josie Ballin.

    John Ike has been practicing architecture and design for more than four decades. John's design aesthetic is influenced by his traveling.
