About ArtsAccessThe purpose of the ArtsAccess Program is to make the arts available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We want to eliminate the financial barrier that prevents families and individuals from experiencing our city’s vibrant and diverse arts scene. Inclusion in arts events builds communities, inspires creativity, and increases understanding of different stories and viewpoints. In addition, exposure to the arts, early and often, builds future audiences, strengthening the economy and culture of our city.
ArtsMemphis is working to sustain Memphis’ world-renowned cultural vitality and strengthen local communities through the arts. In fiscal year 2019, we awarded over 160 grants to more than 70 local arts groups and individual artists, totaling nearly $2.5 million in annual funding.
All of this is possible because of the support we receive from more than 1,600 generous donors. Gifts to ArtsMemphis support everything from local dance and theatre to museums and public art…not to mention film festivals, outdoor concerts, arts education, and more!

Ways to Advocate for the Arts:
In addition to being involved in the ArtsAccess Program, please consider investing in these other advocacy-related programs and organizations.
70% of state arts funding comes from the sale of arts and collegiate license plates and now you can buy a GIFT-A-TAG voucher for the purchase of any of Tennessee’s Specialty License Plates. There are over 100 designs to choose from! GIFT-A-TAG vouchers are just $35 each, and you can buy as many as you want—for your family, friends or treat yourself. Each GIFT-A-TAG is good for the purchase of a Specialty License Plate or the personalization of any license plate.
