Come spend an evening with Anasa Troutman — the visionary behind The BIG We and Historic Clayborn Temple — as she reflects on the past and looks ahead to the future of one of Memphis' most sacred landmarks.
This intimate members-only event features wine & cheese at 5:30pm followed by a lecture at 6:00pm at Howard Hall. Space is extremely limited, so don't wait to register.
If you're wondering about the future of Clayborn Temple, come join us this evening! Register at memphisheritage.org
It’s been one year since our devastating arson and we want our beloved Memphis community to know that Clayborn Temple IS rebuilding!
Today, we don’t mourn- we move forward hand-in-hand with our community that has provided an overwhelming amount of love and support this past year. With that support pushing us forward, we have had a strong year and are moving forward to a brighter future.

Memphis said that we need a conversation about healing, so join us for lunch and let's make it happen🤲🏼
On Monday, April 13th, we are gathering at First Baptist Broad for Building Beloved, a luncheon and facilitated conversation for Memphis organizations, faith-based communities, and civic leaders ready to talk honestly about healing our city and building something... together.
It'll be a laid-back lunch with people from all across the city of different faiths and practices discussing what we think Memphis needs for healing and how we all can play our part.
It's completely free to join us, so save your spot and bring a friend or coworker to represent your organization. It's our second-to-last In This Place event, so don't miss it! Link in our bio!
🗣️This is what investing in Memphis looks like!

Today is the big day! Will we see you at State of the Arts tonight? It's your chance to be a part of the work in building a better cultural and creative economy for Memphis- and that affects EVERYONE, so you should be in the room!
Everybody's been talking about Memphis lately👀
But while the opinions were flying, Memphis creatives, artists, musicians, small business owners, and cultural leaders have been doing what they always do. Building.
This Monday, Memphis Culture Coalition brings 300+ of those builders into one room for State of the Arts, where the creative community sets the agenda and the mayoral candidates respond.
The narrative about Memphis doesn't change from the outside. It changes from right here.
April 6th. Memphis MOSH. 6–8pm. Free.

Memphis is growing its co-op family — and we couldn't be more proud. 🎉
One of our very own COIN 2025 cohort members is opening her doors for the very first time, and that deserves to be celebrated!
@takos_secondhand , a funky, vintage, quality thrift shop that is cooperatively owned, is officially having its Grand Opening this Wednesday, April 1st (yes, really 😄) from 10 AM – 6 PM at 240 Madison Ave, Ste. 101 (The Commonwealth).
When we say COIN is building something real in Memphis and across the Mid-South, this is what we mean. Co-ops are not just ideas — they become storefronts, communities, and living proof that we can build differently, together.
Head out and show Tako's Secondhand some love this Wednesday. 🛍️
