Our hearts are broken. Join us as we extend our deep-felt sympathies to the huge community of family and friends from Philadelphia, MS, to Nashville, TN and beyond, who are mourning the loss of Marty Gamblin. To know him was to love him. Rest in peace, our friend and fearless leader. You were instrumental in helping create and shape The MAX, and we will remain forever grateful while holding you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Heads up - Mini-Grant and Artist Roster applications open May 1st!

Mini-Grants for Individuals are a reimbursement grant that supports established and emerging professional artists based in Mississippi by providing funds to assist with professional development such as attending a training, conference or workshop. Individual Mini-Grants can also be used for promotional efforts and marketing materials such as business cards or website design or can be used to purchase expendable art supplies. Individuals mini-grants can receive a reimbursement grant of up to $500!

Mini-Grants for Organizations are matching grants designed to support professional development and capacity building for arts organizations. Mississippi based non-profit organizations and government entities are also eligible to receive Mini-Grants to hire professional artists such as those listed on MAC’s Artist Roster and Teaching Artist Roster. Organizations can receive up to $1,000 for this grant.

The Mississippi Arts Commission’s Artist Roster is a listing of artists who have been accepted to the Teaching Artist Roster, the Mississippi Artist Roster, or both. Individual artists or arts groups may who apply will then go through a thorough review by a panel of artists, presenters and educators.
