Welcome to Masquerade

We’re thrilled to have you here in our remarkable city-celebrated for its delectable cuisine, rich musical heritage, vibrant arts scene, and above all, our signature Southern hospitality. This season, we are proud to spotlight Mary Sims, a renowned Memphis artist whose elaborate, vibrant, oil paintings take center stage in our show. Known for her richly detailed compositions, Mary masterfully weaves together costumed characters, decorative objects, intricate fabrics, and imaginative imagery—all brought to life through her extraordinary talent and vivid imagination. We are also honored to celebrate a milestone: the 50th anniversary of our esteemed host institution, Dixon Gallery & Gardens. Whether this is your first time experiencing our show or you’re a longtime local, we invite you to relish in the festivities and uncover the beauty, creativity, and spirit that define our Memphis community. Welcome—and enjoy the show!
