Exhibition Overview: "ART SPEAKS – Visual Poetry & Art Inspired by Words"

The Memphis Art Salon proudly presents ART SPEAKS: Visual Poetry & Art Inspired by Words, an innovative exhibition running from April 11 to May 31, 2025.

This dynamic showcase explores the powerful intersection of language and visual expression, bringing together artists who draw inspiration from literature, poetry, music, and spoken word.

Featuring diverse works including paintings, mixed media, installations, and typography-infused pieces, ART SPEAKS transforms text into vibrant, thought-provoking visuals.
