Meet Freddie the Bus

Freddie’s Story

Once upon a highway, there was a retired school bus sitting in chilly New Hampshire, dreaming of sunshine, art supplies, and maybe just a little glitter. Enter Lauren Cannon, a Memphis artist with a wild idea and a big heart.

Freddie traded snow tires for sunshine, and after one epic road trip south, she found her new home in Memphis. With a splash of color, a sprinkle of paint, and a lot of imagination, Freddie was reborn as Jumpstart Art’s rolling creative studio.

Now Freddie doesn’t just drive… she thrives! She parks at parties, schools, and community events to spread joy, color, and creative chaos (the good kind).
