The sculptures that inspired our visiting floral arrangers and designers for the Memphis Flower Show: M3D On the Edge will remain on view in the galleries through the month of May. A virtual survey of contemporary sculpture in the Memphis area, M3D On the Edge includes work by Maysey Craddock, Wayne Edge, Ted Faiers, Joyce Gingold, Terri Jones, Greely Myatt, Brian Russell, Allison Smith, and Carroll Todd. This eclectic exhibition reveals the variety of ideas and aesthetics that informs Memphis's lively contemporary art scene.
