The Art of Entertaining
The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art is a private, non-profit institution, which
receives wide monetary support from the community for the education and
enjoyment of the public. Its building and treasures are unique, and
their protection is the responsibility of the Museum staff. All
functions must be deemed appropriate to the facilities and must not
interfere with normal working conditions.
Special Events Director, Stacy Wright, offers her full attention
and years of expertise in planning the details of any affair. The
Brushmark Restaurant provides a variety of menus to fit the needs of
your group and palette. For daytime catering and facility rental, please call 901.544.6225. For
