This event is for those who really enjoy and appreciate the talents that Memphis has nurtured. Local artists from around the Mid-South contribute their creations for sale at Art for Hope, with sales benefiting the artists and the children of Hope House. It is fitting that the event takes place in the heart of midtown, at the Memphis Pink Place Museum. Guests can buy one-of-a-kind jewelry by artisans from their home town, or pottery, ceramics and paintings, even purses and scarves. Other items include photography, folk art and textiles. Art for Hope takes place right before the holidays so any items purchased are great holiday gifts. Gift-wrapping is also a feature here.

HOW: Tickets: $35/person donation, $50 per couple
