There is an area in downtown Memphis known as South Main. It is a real up and coming arts district. We recently went to an art festival down there. This was a juried show so it was a lot of fine art, jewelry, photography, and sculpture.
We got to ride the trolley!
They did a lot of "artist in motion" demonstrations. That sculpture looked exactly like that girl. I grew up going to art shows and it instilled in me a real appreciation for it. We hope to instill that in Elia too. We found a photographer that we really liked that does collages with photos he takes from different parts of the country. I was drawn to the graphic nature of them and then I realized that I recognized some of the images. That corned beef sign is from one of my mother's favorite sandwich places downtown and the other is the Ferris wheel from Navy Pier. We actually ended up getting a small print that has the Ferris Wheel in it. The bottom pictures is from a gallery that was showing the work from the artist that did the poster for the festival. Josh was pooped!
