The Art of Good Taste events attract the crème de la crème of Memphis society. Each Art of Good Taste event offers sponsors the opportunity to entertain clients, board members, and executives in a magnificent setting. Events feature extraordinary food, wine, and the top auctions in the Mid-South community. Sponsorship gives you visibility with the museum’s most enthusiastic and affluent members and visitors.

Broadcast marketing include PSAs, as well as television and radio interviews. Our print media includes advertisements in the Commercial Appeal, Memphis Magazine, VIP & RSVP magazines, The Flyer and Buster's Drinks Magazine as well as a guerilla marketing campaign to distribute hundreds event posters and flyers at key locations throughout the city.
