“The subject matter of my art varies, but my first love has always been faces.”

So says Betty Harper. Maybe that's why she's drawn the face of Elvis Presley (who possessed one of the most sensually expressive faces ever) more than 10,000 times.

Known internationally as the Elvis Artist – in fact, Betty Harper is the Untitled-4, by Betty Harper.

Official Elvis The face says it all!

Exhibits at Elvis Presley’s Graceland in 2014 Walk in the footsteps of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll at Elvis Presley’s Graceland. Here you’ll enjoy a tour of Graceland Mansion, the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum, and Elvis’ custom jets.

Other exhibits to enjoy: Elvis' Tupelo allows fans to explore the city that Elvis first called home with photos, video, and memorabilia. An Interactive Timeline celebrating 1956, the year Elvis and rock & roll riveted the world.

If you choose to tour Graceland as a VIP, check out “60 Years of Elvis” which commemorates the first Elvis recording to be played on the radio on July 8, 1954.

Nobody Important, by Betty Harper.

Artist of Elvis Presley Enterprises – Betty grew up a "military brat" forever on the move, and had already won countless awards and ribbons by the time she graduated from Dreux American High School in France.

Encouraged, she went on to study at the American Academy in Paris, developing a style distinctly her own, distinguished by its eloquent simplicity.

A remarkable, versatile artist, she is skilled in many mediums, comfortable with many subjects.

But her first love is drawing faces.

“Every face has a story to tell,’ she says. “The lines around the eyes, the set of the lips – each Betty Harper. detail means something.”

According to Betty, “There was something incredibly inspiring about him. He pushed right to the limit of his potential, always himself, always trying to be the best he could be.”

See for yourself. Meet with Betty Harper, view – and purchase – her art at Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, across from Graceland Mansion, Jan. 7-9, noon-5 p.m.

There's no admission fee, so just come and take a gander! www.keymemphis.com

BBQ In Memphis?

Corky’s Barbecue!

Corky’s ribs have been voted #1 throughout the South! Lean, tender, hickory-smoked, Memphis-style ribs.

Rubbed with Corky’s famously flavorful dry shake and served wet or dry, they are the flavor of Memphis, and a musteat if you’re in town. Just as delicious are Corky’s wonderful barbecue sandwiches – pork or beef. And both deserve to be enjoyed with a side of Corky’s fantastic barbecue beans. Corky’s also offers barbecue salad, barbecue chicken, barbecue & spaghetti, hot tamales, chili & Cajun shrimp. And don’t forget to get a loaf of onion rings for everyone at the table to share.

Graceland Is Dressed For The olida ys!

Once upon a time it wasn't Christmas in Memphis til Santa Claus paraded down Main Street past the reviewing stands at Court Square and Mr. Bingle and Miss Holly graced our TV sets every afternoon for 15 minutes. (If you don't know Mr. Bingle, google him and see what you get.)

Well, Christmas has come and gone and the front lawn of Graceland Mansion is still bedecked in Elvisbabyblue lights, with The King's traditional life-size Nativity and, yes, Santa and his sleigh.

And inside, you'll still find Elvis' traditional red velvet drapes and Presley family Christmas treasures on display.

And that's how it'll stay through Jan. 10 when Graceland holds its annual Elvis Presley Birthday Celebration. For info on the EP birthday events (Jan. 7-10), see pages 10-11. And you've probably already seen the Betty Harper story on pages.4-5. Whatever you do, drive by Graceland at night and see the lights!

Graceland parking is across the street from Graceland Mansion, 3717 Elvis Presley Blvd.

For information call 901-332-3322, 1-800-2382000 or visit www.graceland.com.

MATA Trolleys Return To The Garage For Safety

Updates! Lime-Green Hybrid Buses Roll In To Keep The Routes R u n n i n g !

Service on all trolley rail lines has been temporarily suspended for renovations. But don't worry. Alternate service for the trolley lines is being provided through shuttles on MATA's new green hybrid electric buses. Trolley fares and hours of service remain the same - trolley passes will be accepted on bus shuttles.

So you'll still be able to get from the Pinch District and the Memphis Cook Convention Center, run past Civic Center Plaza and Court Square, and go all the way to Peabody Place and Beale Street, the FedEx Forum, Nationals Civil Rights Museum and the South Main Historic Arts District.

And you'll still be able to travel the Riverfront Loop, and take in the Tennessee Welcome Center, Mud Island and the Mississippi River Museum and the panoramic beauty of the 5-block long River Walk.

As with the trolleys, the lime-green buses will be pulling into the station about every 10 to 15 minutes.

On the Madison Avenue Line, frequency slows to about every 25 minutes after 6 p.m. and on Sundays.

Check the map on the back of the magazine for station locations, schedules and fares. Or call 901274-MATA (6282) or visit matatransit.com.
