ANF Architects has hosted commission-free art shows for the past 25 years. Each artist donates one piece to the firm on completion of the show, which has provided us with an incomparable permanent collection of artwork featuring Memphis artists.

Between art shows, we display a rotating selection from our permanent collection. This month, the following works are on display:

[From top left: Paul Edelstein, Annabelle Meachum, Bill Nixon, David Mah

Our gallery is open to visitors at any time during normal business hours, from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.

Welcome to the ANF Blog!

ANF Architects in Memphis, TN, is a full-service architecture and design studio providing services to a wide range of clients, including medical, educational, commercial, and senior living projects.

Once a month, our Office Gallery hosts a full art show featuring artists from Memphis and the Mid-South. Between shows, we display our personal art collection: one piece from each artist we have hosted since our shows began in the 1980's. With a permanent collection which includes art from notable Memphians such as John Robinette, Sally Hughes Smith, Roy Tamboli, and Carol DeForest, and wonderful rotating exhibits featuring Jimpsie Ayres, Norwood Creech, Dolph Smith, and many, many more, our gallery alone is worth a visit.

Twice a year ANF Architects plays host to the Architect's Party, a bi-annual blow-out held at our offices and gallery which benefits a rotating series of Memphis charities, including the Ronald McDonald House, International Children's Heart Foundation, and St. Jude's Research Hospital.
