The Smithsonian lists Mississippi Arts Colony as “the country’s oldest artist-run organization of its kind. Mississippi Arts Colony is guided by a collective of artists. Their activities are funded through fees from workshop sessions, grants from arts agencies, and generous contributions.
“Colony” is an invitation-only community providing arts learning experiences for adult artists. By providing week-long practicum experiences twice a year with a qualified facilitator, their goal is to help Mississippi artists develop their artistic abilities, build their professional skills, build community with other artists, and ultimately keep the arts scene thriving in Mississippi.
Each session offers an opportunity for attendees to submit work for the Colony Traveling Show adjudicated by the session’s guest artist. The current exhibit was curated by David Shevilno in April of 2023.
