Fueling our mission of economic development for all in the Greater Memphis community, the Chamber recognizes the importance of supporting a vibrant local arts community. The artists of Memphis connect businesses, families and visitors to the heart and soul of our city and perpetuates our rich cultural history. Access to local artists and their art works adds to our community’s livability and quality of life.
The Chamber is excited to partner with 3RDSPACE which is a leading-edge, nonprofit organization dedicated to the ideas and risk-taking that fuel a creative and innovative arts community. Rotating art from this group will be displayed in the main entrance of our office and down the halls in effort to embrace the local emerging artists in our community and expose their art to larger audiences in the business community.
Founded in 2015, 3RDSPACE believes in designing sustainable programs and financial models in support of emerging artists, and creating initiatives that support art, culture and creativity in the community through programming, partnerships, and events.
We are honored to have 3RDSPACE curate The Gallery at The Greater Memphis Chamber.
The Gallery highlights local photographers and makers that capture the essence of the people, place, and prosperity of Memphis’s vibrant economy. The works found in this gallery are aligned with visually showcasing the goal and mission of The Greater Memphis Chamber to “focus its efforts on providing economic growth for all—from breaking barriers to business growth today to creating long- term strategies for Memphis’ future.”
