Memphis has long been a destination for artists, singers, storytellers, and dreamers; a city where people love to express themselves. We see it in colorful murals and awe-inspiring art installations, in elaborate stage productions and electric musical performances. Our city thrives on creativity. On the following pages, we showcase a few of the galleries, theatres, performance venues, dance troupes, and more that contribute to the diverse and extensive arts scene. But don’t just take our word for it — get out there and explore the rich cultural landscape the Bluff City has to offer.
