A "great achievement in museum design." That is what the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art leaders are telling architects they want for the museum’s future home overlooking the Mississippi River in Downtown Memphis.

A film directed by a Memphis optometrist, shot in Memphis and Santa Clarita, California, and that stars several actors from “Grey’s Anatomy,” had its Memphis red-carpet premiere on Oct. 2 at the Orpheum Theatre. The movie will be in theaters nationwide on Oct. 26.

The main artifact for a new exhibition at Crosstown Arts is Isaac Hayes' 14-foot-long, custom-made, red velvet office desk complete with white Formica top. Previously, the desk had been in storage for more than a year, after the Stax Museum of American Soul Music recovered it from the owner of East Nashville vintage boutique, The Hip Zipper.

Kevin Box grew up folding paper airplanes and paper making and wound up studying graphic design. But he decided he wanted to do sculpture.

On Saturday, the Brooks Museum of Art will be active inside and out. The work of renowned Barcelona sculptor and artist Jaume Plensa will make a Memphis debut as his “Talking Continents” exhibit opens to the public. Meanwhile, a secretive, week-long “Outings" project installation from French artist Julien de Casabianca will begin at parts unknown across the city.

A “junt” could be any variety of things.
