Beyond the blues and the BBQ, there’s another creative force transforming Memphis’s streets—street art.
Street art, once considered an underground movement, has blossomed into a powerful form of public expression in cities worldwide. In Memphis, this transformation has been particularly striking, as local and international artists alike have used walls and abandoned spaces as canvases to revitalize urban areas.
Over the past decade, Memphis has seen an explosion of murals that celebrate everything. It connects people to the community, often serving as visual storytellers for those passing by. As you explore these vibrant displays, you’ll discover a city that thrives on creativity and innovation—qualities that also define the work we do at Connect Perfusion.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the street art the city’s walls have on display:
Grab your camera, get a friend, head out on foot or by bike, and start uncovering the visual treasures Memphis has to offer. Areas like Cooper-Young, Broad Avenue Arts District, and Downtown Memphis are particularly rich with street art, and new pieces are popping up all the time. But no matter where you go, your eyes will be blessed with beautiful works of art.
