S4E5 - Amplifying Access
Episode description
"How do we connect residents to theatres, dance companies, instructional opportunities within their community they might not even know about? The map with MATA came into play as a resource for riders showcasing all of the arts and culture assets in our county."
The Mid-South is rich in creative assets, but are we maximizing them to the best of our bottom line? Hear from Shelby County's first Arts & Culture Liaison, Nykesha Cole, and MATA's Chundra Smith on the recently unveiled MATA Arts & Culture Bus Route Map and more!
_This conversation is an excellent precursor to the Celebrate What's Right: Creative Economics conversation happening later this month. _
