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.
The series 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 part I of Public/Art/ists, sharing the studio work of over 40 artists who have made contributions to Memphis’ urban landscape:
Beth Edwards, Cat Pena, Greely Myatt, Anne J. Froning, Jill Wissmiller, Jonathan Auger, Kiersten Williams, Pinkney Herbert, Jamond Bullock, Jeannie Tomlinson Saltmarsh, Carol Deforest, Tootsie Bell, Sean Murphy, Richard Lou, Jeane Umbreit, Jay Crum, Jason Miller, Robin Salant, Tad Lauritzen Wright, Elisha Gold, Anne Davey, Louis Tucker, Robert Burns, Kia Lola, Anthony Lee, Mary Long, Justin Bowles, Bob X, Annabelle Meacham, Penny Dodds, Susan Maakestad, Suzy Hendrix, April Pierce, Stephanie Cosby, Yvonne Bobo, Meredith Olinger, Eszter Sziksz, Jamin Carter, Vitus Shell, Phyllis Boger, Kristi Duckworth, Pam Cobb, Brandon Marshall, Lea Holland, Whitney Kerr, Cedar Lorca Nordbye, Yancy Villa-Calvo & Erica Qualy
