ARTSweek runs through December 8. This time of year is the perfect opportunity to engage with our vibrant arts community through gift-giving, making a donation, attending a theatre performance, visiting an art gallery, and so much more.
WKNO is proud to spotlight those who make artistic contributions in the Mid-south through our daily interviews on Checking on the Arts and by partnering with ARTSmemphis to produce Arts Agenda every week.
