It was 1982 when the @MBAAFireHouse was founded and in their 40 years of working to preserve, celebrate, and advance Black arts and culture in Memphis and beyond, they’ve never thrown a party like this one.

@MBAAFireHouse Honors our dynamic founder, Bennie Nelson West. A writer, poet and arts advocate with a career spanning 55 years in the arts, West gave black artists in Memphis a home to hone their gifts.
