If you haven't had a chance to check out "Present Tense" (the Dixon's current exhibit of Memphis art from the past 10 years), there's no better way to see it than during their Art and Soul party on Friday night.

(Christian Patterson Lamplighter Jukebox, 2005, C-print, Collection of Les Edwards and Emily Trenholm) 

Much like the exhibit, the party is going to be an all-Memphis extravaganza. They'll have a miniature Raiford's dance floor (though, no word on whether or not the man himself will be there), barbecue from One & Only and an after party at Swanky's Taco Shop.

The event is free for members of Young at Art and $35 for everybody else.

What: Art and Soul Party

Where: Dixon Gallery and Gardens
