Mar 25, 2015: Clarion Ledger: Arts Day at the Capitol rallies support
Tom Pearson, executive director of the Mississippi Arts Commission, hopes for an additional $100,000 in funding this year (about $2.9 million total) that’d allow them to start writing the state bicentennial curriculum, for use in 2017. “That would be 200 years of the arts in Mississippi,” Pearson said, likening it to the Blues Trail Curriculum that’s been downloaded in 32 states. “With this, 200 years of the arts in Mississippi, we hope to be able to not only teach our schoolchildren about Mississippi and the important role that the arts have played, but also to be able to spread that across the country and spotlight Mississippi artists.” It’d be a history of the state’s art and culture, tracing all the way back to Choctaw traditions.
