Celebrate What’s Right: Growing the Creative Economy
Join New Memphis for lunch and a conversation exploring how Memphis strategically blends economic development with the city’s rich creative landscape to lay the foundation for long-term success. With the City’s freshly created Office of Creative & Cultural Economy — the first of its kind in the city — Memphis is modeling best practices for how a community can be intentional about investing in its artists, its institutions, and its future workforce.
