I am pleased to receive an Artist Mini-grant award from the Mississippi Arts Commission. The Individual Artist Mini-grant is a reimbursement grant that supports established and emerging professional artists based in Mississippi. It provides funds to assist them with professional development or can be used to purchase expendable art supplies. The new art materials I buy with the mini-grant will go towards a new series of paintings connected to the sketchbook work I created during a Visual Journaling retreat in the South of France in June of 2022.
The Mississippi Arts Commission is a state agency serving more than two million people through grants and special initiatives that enhance communities, assist artists and arts organizations, promote arts education, and celebrate Mississippi’s cultural heritage. MAC is funded by the Mississippi Legislature, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Mississippi Endowment for the Arts at the Community Foundation for Mississippi, and other private sources.
I would like to send a big thank you to MAC for supporting and funding the arts.
