The Philip A. Morris Fund for Design Arts, a Field of Interest fund with the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, is proud to present Mary Means as the guest speaker for its annual lecture.The lecture will begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, October 3 in the Birmingham Museum of Art’s Steiner Auditorium, followed by a cocktail reception in the 8th Avenue Lobby. Doors will open at 5 p.m.
Mary Means led the team that launched the Main Street movement. From a risky three community pilot in the late 1970s, to a six state/30 communities expansion in the early 1980s, the pioneering preservation-based revitalization strategies she and her team developed are now central to the Main Street programs thriving in Alabama and 43 other states, a network now known as Main Street America. Today active Main Street organizations assure town center vitality in more than 1600 communities across the country.
