It’s hard to imagine Crosstown without the arts. It was music and visual arts and dance and poetry slams that first activated the building. It is the arts that bring so many people into the building now. Mary Jo Karimnia joined Eric Barnes on The Sidebar this week to talk about all that and more – the residency program (which is taking applications now), the art and music in the building, what it’s like to work and live in Crosstown, and why the Crosstown Art Bar is one of our favorite bars in Memphis.
