MISSISSIPPI ARTS COMMISSION SELECTS IE FOR TEACHING ARTISTS ROSTER
The Mississippi Artist Roster program is an adjudicated listing of professional Mississippi artists who are available to do performances, workshops, and other presentations in a wide variety of settings around the state. Schools, community arts groups, libraries and other organizations use the Roster on a regular basis to identify potential artists who can present in their facilities. These groups can also apply to the Commission through the Minigrant program to receive funding to help support a Roster Artist performance or workshop. Imagination Education, Inc. is included in the 2009-2010 roster – which means schools and organizations can apply for mini-grant funding to bring us in for a performance of workshop!
