JOHNNY CASH STATUE SITE PREPARATION

Help Legacy Memphis raise funds for landscaping and site preparation for the upcoming Johnny Cash statue to be placed in Cooper-Young. 

Leader

Chip Armstrong

Location

Cooper-Young neighborhood Memphis , TN 38104

About the project

While the statue is being sculpted and cast into bronze over the course of 2017 and into early Winter of 2018, Phase 2 of the Johnny Cash Statue Project will focus on raising money for site preparation to give the statue a proper home.

The Steps

Certain steps depend on the nature of the site location being used, but landscaping an appropriate size area in Cooper-Young could begin as early as January. Once the intitial area is mapped out, the space will contain three major components: (1) the statue (2) bricks with donors names (3) An aesthetic "feel" with possible lights and floral embellishment. 

Why we‘re doing it

Every neighborhood has a hero. Legacy Memphis hopes to enliven and enrich Memphis neighborhoods by erecting monuments to the cities musicial story as embodied by the neighborhoods where these artistic figures emerged.
