Arts Education
We work hard to bring Arts Education to children and adults through our various events and workshops.
​
HattiesburgArts Council offers educational and therapeutic programs by offering on-site art activities at The Arc Rise and Shine of Southern Mississippi, and Forrest County Drug Court.
Abigail Lenz Allen says, "There is no way for me to express how proud I am of these amazing artists at The Arc and Drug Court! This is my favorite part of the week... Hattiesburg Arts Council has continued to sponsor these programs, going on for eight years now. For this, I am truly grateful."
