As the official cultural funding arm for both city and tourism dollars, the Greater Jackson Arts Council's grants program is creating new stories every day with neighborhood associations, emerging artists, community leaders, and major arts providers like our museums, symphony, opera, ballets, and theater companies.

We secure national grants for important city projects. One example is our Express Yourself Afterschool Arts Program, which is writing new chapters for at-risk youth.

Arts Council advocacy initiatives are poised to influence policy on cultural tourism and public art making our city more dynamic and attractive to citizens, visitors and businesses. Your Arts Council sponsorship, general membership support and continued attendance at exciting cultural events year round will make this possible.

The chapter ahead for our city is exciting, and it is written by all of us--artists, corporate leaders, community activists and individuals.

So join the Greater Jackson Arts Council today...and be part of the story.
