The Art Department is excited to announce the latest exhibition at the Wright Center Art Gallery showcasing the design and marketing work of David Thompson Director of Creative Services for the Memphis Grizzlies and FedExForum opening Thursday November 6, 2014 from 5-7p.m.

For over nine years as Director of Creative Services, Thompson has enjoyed working on a range of projects from overseeing all print and advertising, to collaborating with interactive, broadcast, motion, and in-arena groups to give a consistent and exciting Memphis Grizzlies brand experience. This has encompassed designing uniforms and basketball courts, to season campaigns, billboards, and boxes for bobble heads. Prior to working for the Grizzlies, Thompson worked on accounts in Memphis ranging from local restaurants like the Rendezvous BBQ, to other local icons like the Peabody Hotel, Memphis Zoo, International Paper, Baptist Hospital, and the National Civil Rights Museum. His work has been featured in national publications including Communication Arts, Showcase Illustration, and The Typography Workbook. Thompson has also served as the publication designer for Number: Inc an Independent Journal for the Arts for more than 20 years.

Thompson will exhibit a variety of projects including some behind the scenes examples of the design and marketing process. The show will run from November 6 – December 13, 2014. We would enjoy having campus and community members stop by during our regular gallery hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will be closed on weekends, holidays, and semester breaks.
