Art Village Gallery is a fine art gallery and event space located in downtown Memphis,TN. The gallery was a pioneer in establishing the art district of the historic South Main area of downtown Memphis. Art Village Gallery has 7,000 square feet of exhibition space on two levels. The gallery hosts solo and group exhibitions and also houses the permanent collection of artist and owner, Ephraim Urevbu's work. In addition, Art Village Gallery showcases the work of other artists from exotic lands such as Columbia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Thailand, Zimbabwe and Namibia, to mention a few.
In 1990, after graduating from the University of Memphis, two other resident artists Urevbu previously shared studio space with on Beale Street, decided to move out. Urevbu was left with a large enough space to display his work. This was the birth of Art Village Gallery. The need for a village style gallery was to fulfill Urevbu's childhood dream of creating a community of artist working and playing together just like it was in his village growing up as a young boy in Nigeria.
The gallery specializes in exhibitions, unique events and services such as interior design consultations, and corporate and private art leasing.
Art Village Gallery's mission is to educate, and connect the Mid -South with exotic works of art from talented but unknown artist living in developing countries.
