Dolph Smith Books at the Brooks

Dolph Smith

By the Book: A Tribute to Dolph Smith opens July 15 at Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.

Dolph Smith has been an icon of the Mid-South art world for generations. This exhibit brings together six of his art books, and also includes the work of eleven artists who have worked with and admire him.

The exhibit runs through November 26. On September 10 at 2 pm there will be a discussion where Brooks members will be about to examine other examples of his work.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
