• Riverarts Embraces New Era -- Along with Its Audience

Art is everywhere in Memphis this week: on the streets of Downtown, in the city's schools, and on the minds of the more than 100,000 people who are expected to attend the annual RiverArtsFest on South Main.

Eventually, the event moved to the Memphis Botanic Garden for several years in the mid-'90s. But after a poor showing following a move to the Christian Brothers University campus in 2004, the festival reached a dead end.
