Nuts! Over Art
September 26
Overton Park
The mission of Nuts! Over Art is to help broaden exposure to the visual and performing arts in Memphis through education, demonstration, and performance, and to ensure Memphians' awareness of Overton Park's significance as an arts locale.
This one-day festival will be held on the “Art Plaza” adjacent to the Brooks, MCA and the Levitt Shell in Overton Park. With the galleries of MCA and the Brooks open and a full day of performances at the Levitt Shell, visitors will enjoy a variety of activities that introduce them to some of our city’s most dynamic artists and arts venues. Families will delight in hands-on art projects, demonstrations by local artists, live music and dance performances, and a chalk art competition. Nuts! Over Art festival admission and activities are free for everyone.
Nuts! Over Art, a deciduously fun family festival celebrating great art in Midtown’s beautiful Overton Park, is generously sponsored by: Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center, Harvest Creative, Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects, Bosco’s, Huey’s, Midtown Yoga, Minglewood Hall, Montgomery Martin Contractors, Park Friends, Inc., and Toof Commercial Printing.

Christian Kuras and Duncan MacKenzie have been collaborating on art projects since 2003. Kuras is based in London UK while MacKenzie lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. Their practice involves working in diverse media to produce objects, installations and images. For the duo, the work of art is an opportunity to reflect upon aspects of the human experience, upon the lives they live next-to and through each other. They are drawn to reflect on the confusions and conflicts inherent in our everyday engagements. After all, even friendship and our most basic family relationships have their mechanisms and machines.
