The Urban Art Commission and City of Memphis have selected Memphis-based artist Desmond Lewis for a new public art project in Orange Mound.

Typically, an object brought to the Metal Museum’s Repair Days is interesting because of the story behind it, rather than the object itself.

Memphis art connoisseurs interested in the intersection of printmaking and social issues are in luck this fall. The Dixon Gallery and Gardens is presenting three exhibitions examining political printmaking.

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.

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.

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

A “junt” could be any variety of things.
