Impact and Partnerships

CAM is committed to ensuring that all arts-inclined young people can have access to our no-cost programming. Given the high rates of child poverty in Memphis-Shelby County, CAM is purposeful about its impact on the trajectory of young people in the region. Over the past three years of the Summer Fellowship, 48.6% of 22-24 CAM Fellows live in zip codes where the child poverty rate is 39.6% or higher. CAM works to address generational disparities by ensuring that all area youth have access to visual arts programming. Our college/career path focus further helps to support local young artists’ pathway to success in the art ecosystem, and generally, in life.

A very sincere thank you to our School Year 23-24 and current funding and community partners. An ecosystem of alliances lifts our community together.
