About Christina Rick

As a dynamic and results-driven event marketing and management professional, I specialize in creating impactful experiences that connect communities and elevate brands. Currently serving as the Program Coordinator for the VOX Program at the National Independent Venue Foundation, I bring a wealth of expertise in event planning, marketing strategy, and community engagement within the live music and arts industries. With a proven track record of success, I have organized high-profile events such as the Mingle-Bell Rock Holiday Arts & Music Festival and curated exhibitions featuring local artists at the Memphis Art Salon. My ability to foster partnerships with local businesses and artists has amplified visibility and enriched cultural landscapes. In my role as Media & Marketing Director at the Memphis Art Salon, I have developed and executed branding strategies, managed social media campaigns, and enhanced online presence, resulting in increased audience engagement and event attendance. My recent completion of the TN Venue Operations eXperience Program + position as Festival Office Manager for Mempho Music Festival (Oct. 2025) has further solidified my expertise in digital marketing and live event operations. I am passionate about leveraging creativity and collaboration to drive meaningful connections and lasting impact. Whether managing festival logistics, curating art exhibitions, or coordinating workforce development programs, I thrive in dynamic environments that celebrate innovation and community.

Over the seasons, I’ve honed my skills in the dynamic fields of media, marketing, and event planning. As the Media & Marketing Director at the Memphis Art Salon, I’ve breathed life into events like the Mingle-Bell Rock Festival, a holiday arts and music festival, which I founded and organized in Dec. 2024. I’ve immersed myself in the world of branding and content creation, championing community involvement. From social media marketing to print design, vendor collaboration to responsive web design, I’ve dipped my toes in diverse waters. I thrive in the confluence of creativity and strategy, crafting campaigns and events that resonate with people’s hearts. I’ve propelled visibility, amplified events, and championed artists. I revel in curating art, nurturing artist relationships and enhancing the ambiance of venues. With my feet firmly planted in the creative industry, I’ve shown that I can nimbly navigate various, ever-changing roles. At the heart of it all, I’m a community builder fueled by creativity. I seek to uplift others and leave a lasting impact through the power of the arts.
