Artwork Dedication Event for Dave Wells Community Center

Join us as we celebrate the installation of a new City of Memphis public art project. Nia Artist Collective members Shalishah (Petey) Franklin, Edwin McSwine, frank d. robinson jr., and Vitus Shell each created paintings that were transferred onto tiles and installed on the exterior of the building. The result is a colorful and engaging reflection of the community, and will serve as an inspiration to the young community members who use the building and playground, and attend school next door.

Date: Saturday, November 8
Time: Noon to 2:00 PM
Location: Dave Wells Community Center, 915 Chelsea Avenue at Ayers Street

Please call Laura Caroline Johnson at (901) 454-0473 for more information.

Mobile Forge Comes to Normal Station Neighborhood

The UrbanArt Commission and artist-blacksmith John Golightly are hosting a Community Day to give area residents the opportunity to create a piece of art for the Black Bayou Fence.
