🎨 What do you enjoy most about the arts in our community?

Is it live music, theater, visual art, dance, festivals, or the way the arts bring people together?

The Jackson Arts Council is working to raise $25,000 through our Keep the Arts Alive Campaign, and we need your support! Your donation—no matter the amount—will help us continue supporting local artists, offering meaningful programs, and creating arts experiences throughout our community.

Please share your answer in the comments, make a donation, and invite your friends to help us Keep the Arts Alive!

I am incredibly grateful to our Jackson Arts Council Board of Directors who showed up today to support our Keep the Arts Alive Campaign press conference. Your presence, leadership, and commitment mean so much to me and to the work we are doing.

“When we keep the arts alive, we keep creativity, opportunity, and the heart of our community alive.”

Thank you for standing with me as we advocate for the arts and work to ensure they continue to thrive in our community. We have important work ahead, but we are stronger when we stand together. ❤️🎨

Together, we will Keep the Arts Alive!
