Grounded
GROUNDED creates immersive art experiences, informed by deep community engagement, that become pathways for transformation.
We’re an organization created by Memphis artists to harness the power of art to inspire healing.
We envision a world where art, artists, collaboration, and mindfulness are intrinsically valued in our communities, leading to curiosity, joy, hope, resiliency and most importantly, healing in some of our most traumatized cities.
Founded in Memphis in 2018, Grounded is a collaborative of artists creating immersive experiences that are informed by deep community engagement. These experiences – such as collaborating on films, music and art installations – create pathways to cultivate peace, hope, agency and growth within individuals and communities. Part of our focus is on changing and evolving broken systems to allow our community members to envision a promising future.
