Arts are the foundation of our culture. They speak to our past, our present, and our future with authenticity and integrity that ultimately create the voice of our community. Inclusivity, innovation, and integrity are at the core of our efforts.
ARTSmemphis envisions an accessible, impactful and sustainable arts community with abundant and inclusive engagement.
At ARTSmemphis, our purpose as a granting organization is to grow the foundation of art for our city with diligent, thoughtful, diverse, and intentional support. While we have distributed over $94 million since 1963 to artists and arts organizations, our support is not simply through good stewardship of donor dollars but also by providing financial guidance, organizational advice, marketing support, and networking opportunities and connections.
Whether a donor, educator, artist, stagehand, or an audience member, together, we are all contributors to the arts.
ARTSmemphis supports the arts to strengthen our community.
