    The first major American exhibition in over a decade to examine current African photography, Snap Judgments presents a panoramic selection of over 200 works by 35 artists from a dozen African Countries. Embracing a variety of media, ranging from small and intimate photographs to expansive multi-media installations, the exhibition features an array of highly individual artistic responses to the enormous economic, social, and cultural changes now taking place throughout Africa. Organized by Okwui Enwezor--one of the world's foremost curators of contemporary art--Snap Judgments offers a fresh and compelling look at Africa. Organized by the International Center of Photography with lead support from Altria Group, Inc., and the ICP Exhibitions Committee. Presenting Sponsor: AutoZone Exhibition Sponsors: The First Tennessee Bravo Series and The Dupree Family Foundation Family Day Sponsors: The Macy's Foundation and The International Paper Foundation

  • About ArtsMemphis

    • 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.
