Detour Memphis Launches ArtistArc 2007

Detour Memphis has announced the launch of ArtistArc 2007 - a program to collect and catalog promotional flyers, newspaper clippings, posters, and other documents related to Memphis' art, music, and culture scene. The archives will be available online in late 2008.

"This project is very important," said Nick A. Davis, director of Detour Memphis. "Local bands and individuals are producing beautiful promotional pieces that many people don't get a chance to see. This archive project will allow the world to see these pieces - the creativity flowing here in Memphis."

Detour Memphis has already collected over 100 pieces of promotional art. ArtistArc 2007 is now available for individuals, groups, and organizations to send in flyers, posters, films, videos, and other promotional pieces.

"Don't be shy," said Davis. "If you have anything promotional - flyers, stickers, t-shirts, website links, films, business cards, etc. - send it in!!! Submissions are allowed from the tri-state area."
