Protecting Arts in Nashville: A Conversation with Morehead-Cain Scholars

Posted on by Leave a comment

As the cost of living increases in Nashville, Music City’s creative class must adapt in order to survive and thrive.

Five students from UNC Chapel Hill’s Morehead-Cain Scholarship Program — Marli English, Benjamin Garland, Addison Truzy, Jey Sedam, and Chandler Beals — have spent the past eight weeks in Nashville, interviewing key stakeholders in the creative and business communities. On this special roundtable edition of The Quinn Spinn, we gain insight into their findings.

Special thanks to the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce for making this conversation possible.
