Who We Are

We are a federally registered 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation founded in Charleston, SC in 2011. Our first physical community & cultural arts opened in the fall of 2022 in Water Valley, Mississippi. We operate a small media hub out of Nashville, Tennessee. We serve people and conduct programs in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. 

We transform communities into entrepreneur centers and dream zones for people in the Arts, Entertainment and Hospitality industries by curating interactive experiences, spaces and programming.  We cultivate unexpected talent. We look for people who are doing good work in communities who need to be elevated, and find a way to make things happen. We care for the people who entertain, create, host, serve and inspire.

 WE TEACH. WE CONNECT. WE CREATE. WE OPERATE IN A 360 MODEL.  

WE EMBODY THE RIPPLE. WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF POSSIBLITIES. WE TEST BOUNDARIES. 

WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. WE BUILD WHAT OTHERS SAY ISN'T POSSIBLE. 

WE ALSO MAKE THINGS. TANGIBLE THINGS. WE TRUST EACH OTHER.  

WE GIVE. WE ASK FOR HELP. WE REQUIRE PARTICIPATION AND PRESENCE. 

WE WORK, HARD.WE INSPIRE EACH OTHER. WE ASK EACH OTHER TO BE AND DO BETTER. 

WE MODEL THE BEHAVIORS WE WANT TO SEE IN OUR INDUSTRY.
