Partners for the Arts

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 the Chair
Partners for the Arts is an alliance between the Pine Belt community and The University of Southern Mississippi’s Departments of Art and Design, Dance, Theatre, English - Creative Writing and the School of Music. With the goals of supporting and enhancing the arts, promoting arts education, and expanding access to regional, national and international arts events and artists, Partners provides financial support to help fund numerous arts activities each year. From individual faculty and departmental grants to student scholarships and art education, our organization plays an integral role in ensuring that the cultural richness of our community is maintained.
As Partners continues its 20th year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and ask for your continued involvement. If you are not yet a member, I invite you to join by completing our online membership application or by downloading our membership form. As a Partners member, you will receive invitations to Partners-only receptions and events throughout the year and other communication to assure that you never miss an opportunity to enjoy arts events of interest to you. Join us today and know that your contribution is part of the overall success of the arts taking Southern Miss to the top!

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?
