NOTE:
*During the 2014 inaugural season, the AMP received the Tennessee Statewide Four Star Award for Excellence in new facility design by the Tennessee Recreation & Parks Association. Its selection was based on its design, land usage, positive impact on the community, and community partnerships involved.
*In 2016 the AMP was recognized as a runner-up “Best Venue” to see a live performance by The Jackson Sun’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
* 2016 the AMP was recognized as a Top 20 Venue by THE MORTIMER & MIMI LEVITT FOUNDATION dedicated to reinvigorating America’s public spaces through creative placemaking and creating opportunities for everyone to experience the performing arts. The need for more third places—those informal gathering spots outside the realms of home and the workplace—has become increasingly clear in today’s world and guides us in our community-driven efforts.
