COLUMBUS, MS – The Mississippi Presenters Network (MSPN) invites artists and arts presenters from across the Golden Triangle area to a special convening at the Columbus Arts Council on Thursday, April 3rd, at 4:00 PM. This gathering is an opportunity for the arts community to connect, learn about funding opportunities, and explore ways to collaborate and expand artistic programming throughout Mississippi.
Led by Carrie White, MSPN Project Director, and Wayne Andrews, Arts Council Director, the convening will cover topics such as funding resources, artist exchanges, the Present Mississippi Awards, and podcast opportunities. Following the workshop, attendees are invited to stay for the Columbus Arts Council Art Gallery Reception from 5:30-7:00 PM, featuring artists Joe Wrenn and Undra Dre Williams.
