Fest 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.
It is appropriate at this time to to thank
all of our generous sponsors and donors who make
this event possible and open to the public with
their contributions.
Special
thanks to Mrs. Barbara Wilson and Heavy Machines
Inc. for their donation to Artists in Motion.
We also want to recognize the following
individuals who put their boots on the ground
contributing untold hours, their wide ranging
talents and their financial resources to make
this event a reality for our community.

Each November, 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.
