Atlanta to be home to new Grammy Museum (Nashville, Milan: attorney, live)

[Atlanta Scientist]

Another attraction for the city and state.

The GRAMMY Museum Foundation has approved an agreement with Georgia Music Accord to build and operate a GRAMMY Museum experience in Atlanta and implement educational programs across the state.

Brad Olecki, CEO of Georgia Music Accord, confirmed the agreement before Monday’s meeting of the Rotary Club of Atlanta when Chris “Ludacris” Bridges discussed Georgia’s music industry with Shan Cooper, executive director of the Atlanta Committee for Progress.

Bridges serves as co-chair of Georgia Music Accord along with Greenberg Traurig entertainment attorney Joel Katz. Cooper is on the board of the Georgia Music Accord.

The agreement follows more than a year of exploring the opportunity to build a GRAMMY Museum in Fulton County and how best to leverage educational programs for the benefit of the entire state.

Michael Sticka, president of the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum and the GRAMMY Museum Foundation, wrote in an email why his organization is expanding in Georgia..

“Atlanta and Georgia have a deep and rich musical heritage, so it only makes sense that we explore a deeper relationship with our partners at Georgia Music Accord,” Sticka said. “A partnership that is based on music and one that will help us to expand our educational mission and ability to celebrate music with students and the broader community in Atlanta, Fulton County and the state of Georgia.”

That will lead to having “partners and the ground” to deliver educational content.

I can understand it in Nashville but can't see anything like this ever being built in Georgia.

He left out that Hotlanta is a mecca for blacks, especially black entertainers. Good choice!

It makes perfect sense since Atlanta and Georgia have a storied music history. Atlanta can also get the tourists as well.

Nashville is the music city capital of the world with tons of artists, and concerts frequently there. I know Atlanta has some of that hip hop and what not, but I don't think it can really be considered a music capital worthy of a Grammy museum. Besides Nashville I would say Los Angeles, New Orleans, Chicago, New York, Detroit Memphis are all bigger music capitals than Atlanta even if some of them are historic music capitals.

Uh, false. Majorly.



Atlanta is the "Milan" of TV/Film/Music - after Los Angeles and New York.

Atlanta does offer a lot in the cultural arts department as to make it worthy of considering for the site. Nashville strikes quite hard in the music department, maybe more or maybe less than Atlanta, but Atlanta is definitely not lacking in entities to attract such a museum. I personally am not a huge fan for hip hop, and maybe hip hop is or isn’t what is drawing them in, but outside of that they do have a strong collaboration of museums in the metro, maybe not as music orientated but there is enough atmosphere in the metro for it to flourish without question. Atlanta is also in a stronger trajectory for tourism as well given it’s location.
