MSPN was selected as the client for The University of Mississippi - Ole Miss ICM campaign project. Five student teams interviewed our steering committee, conducted research on the economic impact of the arts, launched a statewide survey with support from Mississippi Business Journal to gain insights from business leaders. The teams produced proposals to help MSPN move forward and build a stronger Mississippi through the arts. Our steering committee selected The Farley Collective Team and their Invest in the Arts, Invest in Mississippi concept. Thanks for their hard work and creative ideas.

The arts are important to Mississippi for many reasons, not just for the beauty and culture they add, but also for the economy. A group of arts organizations and a class of students at Ole Miss are working together to create a statewide arts fund.
