Memphis Culture Mixer: State of the Arts 2026 at Memphis Museum of Science & History – Memphis, TN

Before we step into one of the most important civic conversations of the year, we’re gathering the people who power Memphis culture in one room.

Join Memphis Culture Coalition for a pre-event mixer designed for artists, creatives, and social entrepreneurs to connect, build, and be in community ahead of State of the Arts. This is your moment to meet others who are shaping Memphis through music, art, storytelling, and business, and to get grounded in the collective voice we’re bringing into the room.

Memphis Culture Coalition is working to make sure our creative community is seen, heard, and invested in across this city. Through research, advocacy, and storytelling, we are building a stronger case for culture and creating real pathways for Memphis creatives to influence what comes next.

This mixer is where that energy starts.

Come connect, learn more about Memphis Culture Coalition, and step into State of the Arts ready to be part of a powerful, city-shaping conversation where creatives lead, and civic leadership listens.
