The theme of this month’s The SPARK is “Intertwining Art and Leadership.” Jeremy C. Park interviews Carissa Hussong of the Metal Museum, an organization working to preserve, promote, and advance the art and craft of fine metalwork; Yancy Villa-Calvo, an artist using her art to inspire and create change, who recently won a national competition for a hanging sculpture that will be displayed at Memphis International Airport; and Willie Gregory of Nike, Chairman of the Greater Memphis Chamber of Commerce, a local leader stepping up to help move our city forward.
Plus, a profile of University Middle School from the most recent SPARK Awards.
