YOU POWER MEMPHIS CULTURE.
However you show up for it, buying a ticket, hiring local, spreading the word, or just showing up to a show, you're already part of what makes Memphis Memphis.
Memphis Culture Coalition is building the case for real investment in the creatives making this city what it is, backed by research straight from our own community. This page is where you get connected: to real ways to help, and to the movement to finally invest in Memphis culture the way it deserves.
THE RESEARCH BEHIND THE MOVEMENT
We didn't guess at what Memphis creatives need. We asked. Our research talked to real Memphis creatives and found out exactly what it would take to build a thriving creative economy here at home.
Be a part of the Memphis Culture Coalition.
Memphis Culture Coalition is a group of creatives, cultural leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday Memphians building the case for a real cultural plan for our city. Together, we do the research, tell the stories, and organize the advocacy that gets Memphis to finally invest in its own culture. Become an advocate, and you'll get updates on our research, our events, and every step toward that plan. The more Memphians who raise their hand, the harder we are to ignore.
Find Your Next Memphis Creative on The Index
The Memphis Creative Index is a free, searchable directory of Memphis creatives, built by Like Really Creative to help this city actually find its own talent. It's how you discover who to hire, commission, or collaborate with for your next project, event, or gift, real Memphis talent, all in one place. Every time you book local, you help prove the case for real investment in Memphis creatives.
FIND SOMETHING TO DO ON THE ARTSMEMPHIS CALENDAR

It's run by ARTSmemphis, the organization that has granted more than $100 million to Memphis arts and culture since 1963. Showing up is one of the simplest ways to put real support behind Memphis culture, and it costs you nothing to look.
