MAC's Folk Arts Apprenticeship Showcase on Thursday, Feb 27, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the Briarwood Arts Center in Jackson!

Join us for artist talks, demonstrations, and a Q & A from our two apprenticeship teams in the craft category: Brian Newman and Justin Mayfield (Apprenticeship in Pottery) and Rhonda Blasingame and Hazel Gaines (Apprenticeship in Quilting). MAC’s Folk Arts Apprenticeship grants program supports the survival and continued evolution of community-based traditional art forms. During the apprenticeship, the teaching artist passes on specific skills, techniques, and cultural knowledge to the apprentice, who is an emerging artist of the same tradition.
