A Celebration of the Visual and
Performing Arts
View 2008 Highlights
RiverArtsFest 2008 was an unqualified success. We
hope that you were one of the nearly 70,000
patrons who came down to experience art in one
of the most unique settings in the Mid South.
Our 2009 Event is scheduled for October 24th and
25th 2009.
Each
fall RiverArtsFest
hosts hundreds of nationally renowned artisans
and thousands of Mid-Southerners to celebrate
the fine arts during a two-day outdoor festival
that is free and open to the public. See,
hear, feel and taste art in all its forms, and
become part of the moment as it all melds
seamlessly with the sights, sounds and
historical reverence of the South Main Arts
District
The mission of RiverArtsFest is to expand and enhance the reputation
of Memphis as an arts-oriented community. Traditionally,
this event has attracted a sophisticated buying public
to interact with talented, nationally
recognized artists from across the nation.
If you would like to get involved check out our
membership opportunities - Art with Attitude.
We are pleased
to welcome back Sam's Town as our Main Stage
Sponsor for 2009!!!
