Power House

Venue

Tell-a-friend

Built in 1914, Memphis' Central Station was too big and important to rely on power from outside sources. The Illinois Central installed its own coal fired plant. Over the remaining decades of the Rail Age, the power house pushed steam and electricity into the station, which in turn pushed people, commerce and ideas to and from Memphis.

In 1999, Central Station reopened, becoming an anchor for the South Main Arts District. And in 2003 Delta Axis began transforming new forms of energy out of the Power House: the power of images.

About ArtsMemphis
- 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.
Bravo Memphis
