State Arts Conference

The Mississippi Arts Commission will host the 2024 State Arts Conference in Jackson, MS, this fall. In 2023, we introduced a second day into the conference schedule. Your feedback told us that you loved it! We are back again this year with the added day to allow for more opportunities to connect, collaborate, and network. Whether you are an artist, an arts professional, a board member, a teacher, or a lover of the arts, the State Arts Conference is the place to be.
