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.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our School Year 24-25 funding partners and community supporters. A special thank you to our past funders—your contributions have been instrumental in helping us reach this point. An ecosystem of alliances lifts our community together!
