Mississippi Arts Commission: News

Arts Commission Headlines

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.
