Contemporary Arts Memphis
Building community throughCAM believes that arts education can provide life-changing experiences. We develop young artists through direct engagement with visual art, providing a vehicle for change and the opportunity to see themselves and the world differently.
Deck the Walls is Contemporary Arts Memphis’ signature fundraising event featuring original artwork created by local high school student artists. Enjoy a festive holiday celebration, silent and live auctions, and an unforgettable evening supporting the next generation of artists in our community.
All auction artwork is created by CAM Fellows. 50% of every sale goes directly to the student artist, while the remaining 50% supports CAM programming—including studio space, supplies, mentorship, and travel—all provided at no cost to participants.
Join us in celebrating young artists and strengthening Memphis’ creative community.
