This week on the Arts Hour, Executive Director David Lewis sits down with some of the team from ‘Sipp Culture. Brandi and Carlton Turner founded and run the arts organization based in Utica. We talk about how ‘Sipp Culture came to be and how community conversations drive their mission. Then we talk with Saint Allen Austin about the work he is doing for ‘Sipp Culture and the Surdna Foundation for the new Rural Routes Design Lab + Studio program, which engages rural artists in transformational community-driven practice.

Tune in to hear their conversation on Sunday, July 27, at 5 p.m. on MPB Think Radio, or listen anytime by subscribing to the Mississippi Arts Hour podcast.
