Event

Words Matter 2.0
Words Matter 2.0 is a collaboration bringing together writers, artists and performers in the Memphis area.

There are several groups with a mix of artistic disciplines in each. Every group starts with words: a literary contribution from a writer. From there, the others in the group  visual artists, musicians, dancers, actors and filmmakers  find collective expression from the language.

It culminates in an event on Sept. 6, 2014 at the Jay Etkin Gallery with readings, performances, screenings and displays.

Other than this setup, there are no creative rules. The success of this project will be in terms of the artists creating their best work. The collaborative aspect is a tool that can allow the artists to find inspiration from others and build on it as much as they desire. But it's not about the amount of collaboration.

Last year, 20 artists in four groups performed and exhibited their works.

Proceeds from ticket sales to the Sept. 6 event will benefit Literacy Mid-South, whose literacy programs are invaluable in strengthening this community. (http://www.literacymidsouth.org)

The event also serves to spotlight the organization's Mid-South Book Festival on Sept. 25-28.(http://www.midsouthbookfest.org)

We are grateful to Jay Etkin and ETFC Architects who are sponsors of Words Matter 2.0. We welcome other sponsors to encourage the creative genius of Memphis.
