About Memphis Slim Collaboratory
The Memphis Slim Collaboratory is a nonprofit music incubator and arts space located in the Soulsville neighborhood of Memphis. Housed in a roughly 2,100-square-foot venue that blends rehearsal spaces, a recording studio, and an intimate performance area with a back-yard stage, it’s designed to bring community, artists, and audiences together in a small, approachable setting. Since opening in 2014 after its redevelopment from the Memphis Slim House, the venue has hosted programs like Live From Memphis Slim, artist showcases, workshops, and the Soulin’ on the River summer concert series in Fourth Bluff Park in partnership with Overton Shell and Memphis River Parks Partnership. If you’re looking to experience close-up performances and local talent, you’ve got a friend in the Memphis Slim Collaboratory.
Seating at Memphis Slim Collaboratory isn’t laid out as a formal fixed chart—the space is designed for a small, intimate audience with a versatile back-area setup. If you’re planning a visit, secure your seats early to enjoy near the performers in a warm, community-focused environment. Parking is available in a nearby lot, and the venue is accessible via MATA public transit with local routes serving the area. For visitors staying in Memphis, nearby hotels like The Peabody Memphis and The Westin Memphis Beale Street offer convenient options a short drive or rideshare away. We also highlight nearby dining to make your outing seamless. As always, we’re here to help you find the right time to experience low-key, high-impact performances at this unique arts space.
