Crosstown Arts, the UrbanArt Commission and ArtsMemphis are
partnering to present a multi-venue exhibition and programming series
throughout 2015 to acknowledge public art makers in Memphis.
Public/Art/ists will collectively recognize and
share the work of artists who have participated in Memphis’ public art
projects and initiatives, including the studio work (non-public art
projects) of these artists, as well as insight into their processes and
involvement in creating public art projects from conception to
completion. The exhibition and ongoing events of Public/Art/ists
not only act as a connection point to these artists, but also reveal
the multiple facets of these artists’ practices in the community.
Crosstown Arts will host the first exhibition of Public/Art/ists,
sharing the studio work of artists who have made contributions to
Memphis’ urban landscape. Additional information about future
exhibitions and programs of Public/Art/ists happening at other venues is forthcoming.
Artists who have created or contributed in any way to a public
art project within the Memphis metro area are invited to submit up to 3
original studio works (non-public art works) for this exhibition.
