There are as many versions of Memphis as there are Memphians. We have something for everyone… and a soul like no other city’s.
Take a look through MemphisConnect and you’ll understand why the 100+ diverse voices represented are all inspired to call Memphis home.

Yes, kiddos, that’s right. Graffiti is good! In fact, if you’re in the know, it’s called a mural! Our murals are so good, the even make the New York Times!!
You now have the opportunity to speak out about murals and mural art in our city this week. The Urban Art Commission is hosting an event on Wednesday and all are invited to attend. Below are the details:

MemphisConnect is a partnership between The Leadership Academy, MemphisED and Simple Focus. We provide a gathering place for diverse Memphians to share the opportunities, initiatives and activities that inspire them to make Memphis home.
MemphisConnect is always looking for people who are passionate about Memphis and want to help move our community forward. Get in touch if you have a story for us to share, of if you want to write for us!
Well, since the UrbanArt Commission invited me for a drink, I guess I have to attend….seriously, this is a wonderful thing for our city. Other cities have been transformed by public art and the passion behind UrbanArt Commission is contagious.
