Now more than ever, art will heal the soul. Throughout the pandemic, Arrow has continued to find outlets for Memphis creatives to share their vision for our creative future. Arrow pivoted during the pandemic to provide virtual classes, created an online retail component, and opened up under new safety protocols to host 55 students this summer for week long workshops.

We are proud to be able to promote and support over 85 local artists at the Holiday Bazaar at a time when so many shows and festivals have had to cancel. The Holiday Bazaar was a time honored tradition at Memphis College of Art for 69 years and Arrow is honored to carry the torch. Shop small and support local this holiday season at Arrow Creative on Broad Ave. Join us to Keep Memphis Creative.

Arrow Creative The Arrow Team

A ONE ROOF CREATIVE DISTRICT

Arrow Creative is a resource for Memphis Creatives to make, learn, shop and meet. Located on Broad Avenue, one of the original creative districts in Memphis. Arrow is a premier source of creative entrepreneur enrichment, art education and art immersion for the entire community. We seek to make art more accessible in order to inspire the creative spirit in all Memphians.

We are a multi-faceted organization dedicated to promoting creativity of all kinds. This organization brings together Memphis designers, makers, photographers, fine artists and creative entrepreneurs to form a one-roof creative district in the heart of Memphis.

"A space like this is vital for creatives all over, but especially for here in Memphis," said Memphis jeweler of IV, David Quarels, "We're getting back to our roots, welcoming the resurgence of makers. So, a place to create, collaborate, and, of course, make money as an artist is something we're all looking forward to.

Arrow will help us all to continue to breed the atmosphere of community that our creatives need: that our city needs."

Many makers in Memphis find themselves without the resources and space they need to create. Since our opening, we have worked to make Arrow a place for artists to grow as solo entrepreneurs in Memphis. Arrow provides, to the art enthusiast as well as the creative entrepreneur, equipment, classes, work space, gallery, exhibitions, creative studios, and a retail area to create a thriving center where art and business merge.

Join our creative community and Keep Memphis Creative.

Artist, Shelby Brown

Arrow Creative is honored to carry on a 69-year-old tradition, the annual Memphis Holiday Bazaar featuring local makers and creatives. The popular event was once run by the Memphis College of Art, which graduated its final class May of this year. With Arrow Creative’s dedication to help locals find unique gifts and products curated by their local creative counterparts, the ambition to highlight Memphis talent of all ages will continue on. This year’s Holiday Bazaar will feature art, accessories, apparel, and jewelry.

Arrow looks for this tradition to continue to flourish for those who participate in or buy at the Bazaar. With the loss of MCA and the challenge of the pandemic, Arrow staff developed solutions to keep everyone safe and let the tradition live on.

Arrow Creative has made a point to change the Bazaar’s

typical weekend event to a month-long endeavor complete with social distancing, private shopping experiences, and online retail options to help shoppers connect with unique pieces during the COVID-19 crisis.

Arrow hopes to help get everyone into the holiday spirit while easing any hesitation. We want our community to be able to support local artists and makers, and provide a safe space for the community to come in (or go online) and shop. The times are different but this Holiday Bazaar keeps the tradition going and we are helping people to have as normal of a holiday season as possible right now.

The next few pages give you a glimpse into our show, but the gallery is filled to the brim with amazing pieces from local artists and makers. We look forward to welcoming you into our concept shop on Broad Ave.

MEMPHIS FASHION WEEK 2020 WINNER

Grace Siler, the winner of the 2020 Mini collection for MFW, is a Memphis College of Art grad and an advocate of Memphis art and design!

GRACE SILER Grace Siler started designing fabric accidentally when a professor suggested one of her typography designs looked like a fabric print. After a test print, Siler created a series of clothing items and accessories which soon led to more patterns. Since learning how to sew at the age of six from her mother, it was easy for her to quickly create clothing pieces from her designs. This brought back a love for sewing while incorporating her illustrations. Siler never dreamed that her weekend hobby with her mother could turn into a career. She continues to design new fabrics which are transformed into wearable accessories and clothing items which can now be found in the Arrow Shop.

This print from her winning designs started as a typography poster for a class assignment and soon became a fabric design!

Each of the letters symbolizes the first letter of a typography term with the definition written out next to it.
