“I cannot thank you enough for the support that MAC has shown me. I promise to repay it in full with honesty, candor, severity, critique, and truth in my work.”
Benjamin Morris, Writer
Hattiesburg, MS
To keep the people of Mississippi aware of all the activities of the Mississippi Arts Commission, the agency relies on members of the media to report on the information we send out in press releases.
The Commission also sends out a monthly E-newsletter, "smARTnews," which provides up to date information on important arts related events and opportunities. Sign up for this information-filled E-newsletter on the homepage.
