When it comes to promoting its brand, Memphis has been criticized for being something of a one-note town.

But Memphian John Kirkscey has an idea to change that. "Memphis is the arts Mecca of the South," Kirkscey says. "We need to start celebrating our present culture, not just our past."

The Promenade, a four-block area west of Front Street between Union and Adams avenues, has long been one of the city's most poorly utilized portions of Downtown riverfront. 

Credit John Kirkscey with an idea that could change that…Kirkscey hopes tonight's event, which will also feature live music and art displays (naturally), can be a starting point to build public support for the art park.
