Raising funds to ensure excellence in the arts and build a vibrant cultural community for everyone. Our mission statement above says it best - ArtsMemphis is an arts fundraising organization dedicated to supporting and enhancing the region's cultural community. Approximately 95% of funds raised through our Annual Campaign goes directly to the arts community. Founded about 45 years ago by a group of Memphians who wanted to ensure that vibrant and diverse local arts offerings would be sustained, ArtsMemphis is now one of the largest United Arts Fund in the entire country. ArtsMemphis is proud to offer this calendar of events to our community as another way to promote our many cultural assets.

      Outstanding video! A perfect blend of interviews, real life segments and performance clips. Memphis has produced some of the greatest performers of all time, including Steven Len White. Steve is the consumate professional and is beloved by audiences and fellow performers (I have been lucky enough to be both). No one performs with more passion and integrity than Steve, and this program really captured this. I especially loved the view into his warm-up routine with his lovely wife, Debbie, at the piano. He chose to pursue opera and musical theater, but he can easily command any stage, even the "Grand Ole' Opry"! This will undoubtedly increase attendance at Macaroni Grill as many will hope to hear Steve serenade their dining experience. The final thoughts spoken and the conclusion of Steve singing his song at the end of the video was very moving. Thank you for choosing to showcase the wonderful Steven Len White. I loved it!
