How To Get Involved
Music brings us together. It describes our joy and our sorrows. It instructs us, connects us, entertains us: it makes us better people. And you can help be a part of the collective experience Iris is bringing to Memphis.
Host A Musician
As many as forty host families contribute to Iris in a very special way by opening their homes to our musicians. With their busy schedules of rehearsals, school and hospital visits, and performances, the musicians can be confident that there will be a warm and welcoming host waiting to hear about their experiences at the end of each day. These families enjoy the unique opportunity to get to know talented musicians on a personal level. For more information contact Katie Hook at mkhook@iriscollective.org.
Join
We want you as part of our Collective. Corporations and foundations receive tremendous value through sponsorships and community recognition for your dedication and support as well as tax benefits. Planning giving, from a simple bequest to more complex arrangements, can also provide an ideal opportunity to support the institution you love at a higher level than you may have thought possible. For more information contact Rebecca Arendt at rarendt@iriscollective.org.
You Make A Difference
Even with sold-out performances, ticket sales only cover 20 percent of the cost of bringing exceptional music to the stage. Plus your gifts allow the Collective model to fully come to fruition in all communities across Memphis. Last year alone we were able to reach 4,000 residents, 1,000 patrons of partner organizations and more than 1,500 students. Join the movement today with your simple tax-deductible donation by calling (901) 746-9948, mailing your check to:

Order A TN Arts License Plate
What better way to tell the world you support the arts than with a TN Arts Commission arts plate. Just take your old plate to your county clerk and swap it - they will prorate your tag fees, so you don't have to wait until your tag renewal is due.
