Organized by the Memphis Center at Rhodes College
February 18, 19, and 20, 2016
The arts are central to Memphis’ identity—innovations in music, dance, performance, and the visual arts continue to define and shape our sense of this place. Increasingly, the arts are understood as having a key role in social change, community building, and urban development. Mel Chin will be the conference’s keynote speaker as part of the Communities in Conversation series. The Memphis Center at Rhodes College will partner with local leaders, artists, and stakeholders to host conversations about the role of the arts in Memphis, with sessions held at Rhodes College and in three Memphis neighborhoods: Crosstown, the Edge District, and Orange Mound. The conference is free to attend ($5 ballet performance optional) with registration.
