  • 1 Ballroom
  • 1 Event Space
  • 2 Art Galleries

  Located in Downtown Memphis's historic South Main Arts District, the Jack Robinson Gallery is a rustic, urban event venue set against the backdrop of Jack Robinson's vintage photography. Robinson, born in Meridian, Mississippi in 1928, built a celebrated career shooting for Vogue, The New York Times, and Life before an extensive archive of his negatives — featuring subjects from Andy Warhol to Joni Mitchell — was discovered after his death. His friend Dan Oppenheimer founded the gallery to preserve and showcase that legacy, and today the space doubles as a photography exhibition and a private event venue. The gallery spans two floors and more than 2,500 square feet. The downstairs area suits smaller gatherings — ceremonies, birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, and photo shoots — while the upstairs ballroom accommodates larger receptions, galas, and corporate events. Rentals include use of the gallery's tables, chairs, sound system, and moveable bar, with the vintage photographs providing a distinctive backdrop throughout.

The Hideaway Farm's centerpiece is a circa-1837 white log farmhouse, restored alongside the American Garage, which displays historic artifacts including the "One Piece at a Time" Cadillac. A newly renovated barn venue with two stages, a dance floor, and an air-conditioned green room anchors the property's event space, set among wooded trails, open fields, and a bonfire area with a firepit built by Cash himself. Down the road, the Storytellers building traces its own history to an 1800s general store that became Red Wortham's recording studio in the 1960s, and later the site of Johnny and June Carter Cash's "Saturday Night in Hickman County" concert series. Restored in 2016, it now operates as an enclosed, weather-proof event space with an adjoining covered courtyard, making it a fitting setting for intimate weddings, songwriter nights, and private gatherings that carry the property's musical history forward. Both locations include on-site audio setup run by venue staff, rental furnishings such as tables, chairs, and benches, and the option to add event tents for outdoor weather contingency.
