Sign up now to reserve your door! You won't want to miss Memphis Heritage's third Adapt-A-Door Design competition and fundraiser. This is our third year for this very successful annual fundraiser which will be bigger and better than ever. Everyone is invited to join in the Third Annual "Adapt- A-Door" event...a fundraiser brought to you by Memphis Heritage, Inc.

Here's how it works... You decide you want to let your creative mind go wild and enter the Adapt-A-Door Competition by the deadline of April 7, 2011 ...we let you pick up the door of your choice at our Third Annual "Donut Door Dash" on Saturday April 9, 2011 . Contestants will be able to choose from a collection of doors, gathered by our dedicated Preservation Posse Volunteers, to recycle and transform it into a fabulous work of art. The only limitation is their imagination and using at least 70% of the original door. Then you make a personal, creative masterpiece out of your door which we will then auction off in August.

Last year we saw ALL KINDS of transformations, from coffee tables, to head boards, to a guitar! Let your creativity go wild and just do it! Be one of the first firms or artists to make your mark in this Annual one of a kind "Door" event! Many Door Designs will be on exhibit at various locations and at Howard Hall during the month leading up the auction event which is planned for Saturday August 27th.

Our Door Auction event will once again include awards for "Best of Door", a Silent Auction, great fun and pub grub. Other important info: Cost to enter the competition is $25.00 per door. For the $25.00 commitment fee you will receive 2 tickets to the "Door Auction" event, be eligible for the grand "Best of Door" award that comes with great prizes. All final "masterpieces" will be on the MHI website.

If you have any questions about this outrageous door event contact MHI at 901.272.2727 or email Donna McCraw at dmccraw@memphisheritage.org

2011 Preservation Series Begins in March - Mid Century Modernism The 2011 Memphis Heritage's Preservation Series will be meeting on Mondays in March to explore Mid Century Modernism in Memphis. Although we still relish our buildings from the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, it is time to understand and embrace the architecture and spirit of the middle of the twentieth century. These underappreciated Modernists structures are rapidly disappearing from the built environment as most have not been designated eligible for or listed on the National Register.

2011 Youth and Architecture Contest Memphis Heritage, Inc. is proud to announce the 8 th Architecture and Our Youth Design Competition for 4th - 12th grade level youth in Shelby County. Participants are asked to explore historic buildings and spaces around them through an art medium of their choice. In addition, an essay is submitted describing how the individual responds to the art emotionally and/or physically. Winners in each division receive prizes during the opening reception and will have their artwork on exhibit along with their written responses during May 2011. The goal of this exhibit is to communicate through images and words how our youth respond to the built environment.
