Mississippi AMP + Public Art in Community Grantees Presented by Walter Anderson Museum of Art Presented by Heritage Guild of Vicksburg Warren County “The Mississippi Arts Commission is proud to partner with the Levitt Foundation on a public art and concert series grant that will invest in Mississippi communities.
This support will allow Mississippi communities to grow and create lasting public art and a free outdoor concert series that will elevate the quality of life for locals and present a vibrant cultural draw for visitors. We’ve seen how concert series and public art installations, like the Hattiesburg “Live at Five” concert series, have helped revive downtown areas, sparking interest in economic development and tourism.
This grant will provide that opportunity for communities in the state that need the extra support to jumpstart their program. ” – David Lewis, Executive Director, Mississippi Arts Commission “The Mississippi Main Street Association is beyond thrilled to partner with the Mississippi Arts Commission and the Levitt Foundation in support of the Public Art in Community Grant.

This initiative to bring public art and free outdoor concerts to Mississippi communities truly stands to celebrate and catalyze pride in each place’s unique story, bringing residents and visitors together to drive vibrancy for years to come.
” – Jim Miller, Executive Director, Mississippi Main Street Association “Visit Mississippi is proud to partner with the Mississippi Arts Commission and the Levitt Foundation to support this first year of the competitive Public Art Grant program.
As the birthplace of America’s music, Mississippi understands how music and public art can transform places into destinations, turning everyday spaces into must-see experiences that draw visitors, inspire curiosity, and fuel local tourism.
” – Rochelle Hicks, Director, Visit Mississippi “The Levitt Foundation is thrilled to be partnering with the Mississippi Arts Commission, combining our support to create vibrant public spaces through public art installations activated by the joy of free, live music.
For the past two decades, Levitt concert series have been catalytic in revitalization efforts in towns and cities across the country, creating thriving communities and pride of place. We’re excited to see these community-driven projects come to life in Mississippi and for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the dynamic impact of layering the power of art with the power of music.
