Soulsville Foundation and the Blues City Cultural Center will each receive a $150,000 grant award from the National Endowment for the Arts, Congressman Steve Cohen announced Friday.
Both are arts education organizations that serve youth in Memphis. Founded in 1998 as the Ewarton Foundation, Soulsville Foundation is the parent organization of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Stax Music Academy and The Soulsville Charter School.
“Our mission really is to think about legacy, students and the next generation artists,” said Richard Greenwald, CEO of the Soulsville Foundation said.
