About Art Dash
Art Dash is Friends For All’s premier annual event, bringing together art lovers, local creatives, and community supporters for an unforgettable evening. Guests dress to impress and enjoy a gallery-style showcase featuring over $15,000 in art, jewelry, and more. The highlight? A thrilling "dash" where participants race to claim their favorite pieces, with values up to $5,000.
This event is more than an exhilarating celebration of creativity. Every dollar raised supports Friends For All’s vital community programs, helping to provide free health and social services to low-income individuals in Memphis. By attending Art Dash, you’re not just experiencing the best of Memphis’s art scene—you’re contributing to a healthier, happier community.
How Art Dash Works
Art Dash is an evening of elegance, excitement, and creativity. As the event begins, attendees sip champagne or cocktails while exploring two gallery-style silent auctions brimming with stunning art and unique items. Anticipation builds as ticket numbers are randomly drawn to determine the dash order. When it’s your turn, the thrill begins—dash to claim your favorite art piece before someone else does!
The atmosphere is electric, with live music, vibrant conversation, and the shared joy of supporting a meaningful cause. Whether you’re a participant in the dash or a spectator soaking up the excitement, Art Dash promises an evening to remember.
