How you can make a difference: SAVE THE ARCHIVES!  Support our efforts to preserve our archives before they decay!
For nearly 40 years our filmmakers, folklorists and historians have interviewed, recorded, photographed and filmed men and women whose stories, music, foods and crafts represent the diverse traditions and communities of the Memphis/Delta region.
In their current form these tape recorded personal narratives and music will not last. With your help the very fragile materials that are stored in the Center's Archives -- 1500 analog audio recordings, 300,000 images, and several hundred hours of film footage and video can be preserved on digital files and be available for generations to come.
"The Center's films, photographs, interviews, exhibits, folk art, and championing of individuals and the community represent an invaluable resource too rare to call priceless (it would be an insult to the diversity and purity of its subjects) but requiring the kind of archival attention that will allow them to be preserved." - Peter Guralnick
Can include varying levels of promotion and acknowledgement on our live stages, our web site, television and print materials. Sponsorships can be for specific events, programs or ongoing support. *Please contact us at

TN ARTS COMMISSION One of our most generous supporters is the TN Arts Commision, but they need your support in order to provide assistance to organizations like us and TN artists. You can help by
signing up for a personalized license plate courtesy of the Tennessee Arts Commission. Every specialty plate makes an annual
$30 donation to TAC which "stimulates and encourages the presentation of
performing, visual and literary arts throughout the state and encourages public
interest in the cultural heritage of Tennessee."
