Art in The Loop will be staged in east Memphis, near Poplar & I-240, on Ridgeway Loop Road. This unique site is situated in between 1.5 million square feet of high level offices and one of Memphis' most exclusive residential areas (the founders of FedEx & AutoZone live right around the corner), In addition to offices, the area boasts several hotels (including the Memphis Hilton) and a 4 screen Cinema dedicated to films attractive to the over 45 audiences; there is even a trendy Mega-Church in view of our festival site, from which we hope to pick up additional traffic on Sunday.

Art in The Loop will feature – and focus on the sale of – stellar works of art in metal, glass, clay, wood, fiber, jewelry, sculpture, paintings & photography, and more. We will limit the number of artists by category, and are more concerned about the quality of work presented than the number of spaces we sell: from 40 to 60 artists will be admitted this first year.
All Artists selected will have corner spaces during this inaugural year.
