Lauren Rogers Museum of Art

The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art will continue ArtReach, an education outreach program that engages a broad base of the community. By using the museum’s collections and exhibitions to create quality art experiences, ArtReach opens doors and piques interest in lifelong participation in the arts. Components include a full-time outreach coordinator, an artist-in-residence program for schools and community groups, art experiences for underserved segments of the community, a school tour program that includes activities and lesson plans correlating with the Mississippi Department of Education framework, an emerging artist program for secondary school students, and public art projects using community talent.
