The Memphis Medical District Collaborative (MMDC) has launched its own public art fund, which will be granted to artists to create “unconventional and impactful” public art projects in the Medical District.
Types of projects that are eligible to be funded include temporary or permanent art, site specific installations, as well as multimedia and performing art projects.
Professional artists, along with general members of the community can submit an application and project proposal here until the end of November.
Once every two months through December 1, grantees will be selected and awarded up to $2,500 to complete their artwork.
Preference will be given to artists that live or work within the Medical District.
Property owners in the district can also sign up to be paired with artists, for on site projects such as murals or sculptures.
