MAC is pleased to announce a new Creative Aging Grant!

MAC is one of 28 state arts agencies awarded $77,550 in funding through a national grant program from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) to pilot a Creative Aging Grant for older adults in Mississippi.

MAC’s grant program will support organizations in hiring teaching artists to lead creative classes in a range of art forms for adults aged 55 and over. Non-profits, units of local government, libraries, county, and municipal agencies in Mississippi may apply for matching funds for artist fees, supplies, and other related expenses. These experiences will be hands-on, sequential, and rooted in a curriculum designed and led by professional teaching artists. Such experiences promote mental alertness, emotional fulfillment, and physical activity. They also serve to combat isolation and encourage self-expression in ways that foster dignity, joy, and community.

The Creative Aging Grant is made possible by a grant provided by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in partnership with E.A. Michelson Philanthropy and awarded by the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency.

Applications for MAC’s Creative Aging Grant will open February 1, 2027, and be awarded until all available funds are awarded. For detailed information about the MAC Creative Aging Grant, visit https://arts.ms.gov/grants-for-organizations/creative-aging-grant/.
