On any given day, Memphis is a beautiful arts town. Specifically, Memphis is music.

We have the Blues Hall of Fame, the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum and Stax Museum of American Soul Music; and we should have Nashville’s National Museum of African American Music, but that is a discussion for another day.  

I love Memphis. We are known for our creativity; but when it comes to supporting local artists in the community, there is very little infrastructure to help them thrive.
