A social experiment in the name of art, community, and a "let's see what the hell happens" attitude.

In March of 2011 Live From Memphis sent a dozen disposable cameras out into the community. The mission, take two pictures and pass the camera on! At the end of the month, we collected as many cameras as we could and held a community art show at the Adam Shaw Gallery on Broad Avenue.

The results were amazing. The project successfully involved over 60 individuals and 110 photographs, not to mention the hundreds of people who turned out for the event.

What people say about Disposable Art

"Disposable Art project was a hit! Well done, Live From Memphis!"
Weeden's Art Watch Blog

"The experience was both enjoyable and challenging in that we were asked to 'create' photos with a disposable camera...something that could turn out either embarrassing and a total disaster or a positive effort of our creative side...I'm pleased to say that from the photos I viewed from everyone, the project was a complete success. Woot!"
Don Meyers, Participant

"The Disposable Art project was a fun variation of a chain-letter. It was pretty exciting to pass off the camera after taking my two shots and wait to see where it wound up! Mine apparently wound up in some rural parts of town"
Eric Huber, Participant
