Note: You can help the arts by participating in a particularly stellar event Events below and while there, take the 3-minute Americans for the Arts’ Arts and Economic Prosperity® survey. These surveys are conducted just twice a decade to measure the current economic impact of spending by both arts organizations and their audiences. Whether spent locally on dinner and drinks, childcare, parking or rideshare, or even clothing purchased for the event, these industry event-related expenses have a large economic impact. Data from a 2016 survey revealed that Memphis’ arts sector is a $197 million industry and joint second largest employer. What will 2022 tell us?
Immerse yourself in the beauty, fragility and transience of the natural world in this temporary outdoor installation! Explore the iridescent, oversized bubbles while going around and under them, and make sure to catch them at night when they light up! It’s the opposite of picture perfect.
