Partners for the Arts
Don't miss our 2016-17 Year in Review
“This past year was an exciting one for Partners for the Arts as we celebrated 20 years of supporting the arts at Southern Miss. We increased our membership by 14% and raised over $50,000 for support of the arts. These funds helped support 23 programs at the university in all of the arts disciplines, through our grants awards, to include art, creative writing, dance, music and theatre. Additionally, Partners for the Arts was able to award financial support directly to five students through the “Emerging Artist Award.” – Russ Willis, Chair

Meet our 2017 Emerging Artist
The Emerging Artist Award is sponsored by the University of Southern Mississippi’s Partner for the Arts to support student work and professionalism. Five $200 awards are granted, one in each of the following units: Art and Design, Creative Writing, Dance, Music, and Theater.
20 Years of supporting the Arts at Southern Miss!
The Departments of Art & Design, Theatre, Dance, English, and the School of Music are grateful to the Partners for the Arts, through whose generous support we are able to bring our exhibitions, plays, musicals, dance concerts, fiction and poetry readings, and recitals to the public. The scholarships they have provided to students have been invaluable, and their contributions to bringing visiting artists to campus help us expose our students to new worlds.

A Message from Dean Maureen Ryan
Many years ago, I served on the founding board of the Partners for the Arts, an exciting community-university enterprise that invited Arts faculty and administrators, and audience members and friends of the Arts to collaborate on Southern Miss’s many Arts performances, programs, and initiatives. In the years since then, Partners has supported—with membership funding, attendance, and word-of-mouth exposure—the first-rate Arts programming that the state’s only fully accredited Arts college offers on a regular basis. Partners members and their donations support a panoply of Arts events that teach our students, develop our Arts faculty, and expand the cultural opportunities of Hattiesburg and the Pine Belt.
Will you join the Partners for the Arts, and help us continue to bring plays, recitals, dance concerts, exhibitions, musical theatre, readings, the symphony and more to Southern Mississippi?
