Art Speak Memphis is the love child of Angela McQuarrie's love for the arts and her wanting to embrace and support those that are in the arts.
After returning from Austin, Texas to Memphis, Tennessee at the end of 2009, Angela noticed that Memphis did not have any place for local up and coming artists to showcase their work. Whether it is visual, sculptural, vocal, spoken....whatever, she felt compelled to create a platform for them. It was the least she could do.
Angela finally sat herself down and created Art Speak (with the help of some key mentors). Today and everyday, she supports the arts and those who are interested in the arts and hopes to bring a cultural change, no matter how minute, to the Memphis culture.
