New Mayor Paul Young Putting Arts And Culture To Work For Memphis
From Forbes.com:
“Arts and culture are part of the formula for economic development for our city,” Young told Forbes.com. “As we think about how cities are growing across the country, it’s about being special, and I think our arts and culture is what sets us apart from other cities…if you want to attract talent, you have to invest in arts and culture.”
Hyde Foundation is proud to support a vibrant and authentic arts and culture ecosystem in Memphis as part of our mission to create a thriving, unified Memphis for all.
“Arts and culture is not just a nice-to-have, it’s an essential part of creating a vibrant, dynamic city where people want to be. I’m excited about Mayor Young’s vision for a culture-forward Memphis and look forward to supporting the work of the new Office of Art and Culture.”
