Linda Kay Chandler of Maben has been awarded a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission.
The grant is a portion of the nearly $1.4 million in grants the commission awarded in Fiscal Year 2020 and will be used to purchase promotional material for “Linda Kay’s Book of Poetry” (Haley Book Publishing). The grants are made possible by continued funding from the state Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
“Mississippi boasts an embarrassment of riches when it comes to artistic talent in our state,” said Malcolm White, executive director of MAC. “MAC is proud to support the artists selected to receive grant awards from MAC this year. These individuals should be commended for their commitment to artistic excellence as well as their ability to communicate complex thoughts and emotions through the arts.”
The Mississippi Arts Commission is a state agency serving more than 2 million people through grants and special initiatives that enhance communities, assist artists and arts organizations, promote arts education and celebrate Mississippi’s cultural heritage.
In addition to the Mississippi Legislature and NEA, the agency is funded by the Mississippi Endowment for the Arts at the Community Foundation for Mississippi and other private sources.
