Art for Jobs 2014: Get Involved Starting NEXT WEEK!

This September 11th, we'll host the 4th annual Art for Jobs event, our art show and sale that benefits the programs and people of the Advance Memphis community. It's my job to run this event -- but it's also the one of the most fun and encouraging things I do all year.


We're starting work NOW to make sure that this event is the best yet. And we plan to have a great time doing this work -- so join us! There's something for everyone, and your time will benefit one of the hardest working communities we know!
  • Help us market the event to churches and groups all over Memphis...as simple as telling your book club or Sunday school class about the event...as fun as helping us choose the poster art! 
  • Help us recruit artists -- everyone from your talented neighbor who paints on the weekends to the well-known artist with pieces in your favorite shop. 
  • Help identify and communicate with potential sponsors. These generous businesses make all the difference in the impact of this event! 
  • Help us organize volunteers. There will be 40-50 volunteers here on the day of the event! We'd love your help in recruiting them and getting them all pointed in the right direction as they arrive!
  • Help us throw a great party! We need all the elements of a good time -- food, drinks, music and people. If you enjoy making all those things come together, join us!
Meet us at Cheffie's THIS Monday, March 31st, at 7pm OR on Thursday, April 3rd, at 11:30am. Pick the meeting time that's best for you and we'll see you there! If you've got questions or want to let us know you're coming, please contact kate@advancememphis.org. 

Hope to see you next week!
