The Office of
Cultural Affairs
Promoting the development of
downtown Winston-Salem through arts and entertainment.
“Winston’s downtown has been revitalizing itself over the last few years, and its compact center is alive with sidewalk cafes, boutiques, and art galleries.... Much of the development is the direct result of efforts by R. Philip Hanes, scion of the Hanes family and former chief executive of a textile company that bears their name. Entrepreneur, philanthropist, gourmet, conservationist, and lover of the arts, he recently celebrated his eightieth birthday and also recently published a book, How to Get Anyone to Do Anything, a sort of autobiography and recounting of Winston’s rebirth as a cultural center. In fact, it seems difficult to understate his influence on his hometown. As one local told me, Winston restaurants didn’t even serve wine until Mr. Hanes decided they should.” —American Heritage
