A VIBRANT FORCE FOR CHANGE, EMPOWERING AND ENRICHING COMMUNITIES ONE PERFORMANCE AT A TIME.
Introduced in June 2022, Shell on Wheels extends the Overton Park Shell's mission by bringing performing arts programming to Memphis and Shelby County neighborhoods.
ACTIVATING SPACES IN OUR COMMUNITY
Organizing a community event can be challenging and costly, especially if you want to include live music. But don't worry – that's where we come in.
From booking talent, food trucks, and local vendors to coordinating additional partnerships and connecting you with resources, we’re ready to curate a diverse range of events and activities designed to bring people together.
TAKING THE SHOW ON THE ROAD (LITERALLY)
Launched in July 2023, the Mobile Shell redefines accessibility to the arts, traversing the city with cultural vibrancy. A one-of-a-kind half-scale mobile replica of the Overton Park Shell, it comes fully equipped with state-of-the-art lights, sound, and power systems, creating extraordinary stages in ordinary places.
The Mobile Shell is a dynamic vehicle for community engagement with events in any outdoor space: parks, schools, libraries, churches, and even parking lots. It provides the perfect solution to bringing live music to your next corporate event, family gathering, nonprofit fundraising event, festival, and more.
