We are an arts-centered, community and economic development organization. Memphis Artists for Change (MAC) weaves arts into the creation of opportunities for community-sanctioned change in underserved neighborhoods.
Artists. Aid. Organizing.
MAC aids in community and economic development through mitigation of the impacts of food insecurity and other environmental injustices, encouraging civic engagement, as well as developing and promoting arts-centered programming in underserved communities.
Through this work, Memphis Artists for Change aims to increase the ability of communities to thrive.
