Details
Once Upon a Time in Memphis is an interactive, inclusive, family-centered literacy and
empowerment event designed to nurture creativity and confidence, showing every child that their voices matter.
Through guided mini workshops, guest speakers, and more, kids will experience the joy of knowing the value of their voices and walk away with the confidence that comes from learning the art of storytelling. Children will also be encouraged to explore multiple forms of storytelling including filmmaking, animation, digital art, dancing, singing, and more.
The event also highlights inclusivity, welcoming neurodivergent participants. Attendees will benefit from sensory-safe spaces, adaptive resources, and inspiring speakers who are advocates for accessibility and expression. Hosted at the historic Cossitt Library in Downtown Memphis, the event will serve children and teens ages 6–16.
"Every voice begins with a story. Our stories begin here."
