About

Dedicated to celebrating and honoring the lives and works of talented Mississippians, who have touched the lives of so many around the world.

Story

Scheduled to open 2017, MAEC’s innovative hands-on exhibits will highlight Mississippi’s artists in every art category and A & E entrepreneurs and their contributions in their respective fields to the world. The iconic, two level structure will total approximately 58,000 square feet of which 22,000 is Hall of Fame and exhibit space organized around five themes—the land, the home, the community, the church and the people. Audio and video stories tell who, what, where, when, why and how Mississippians influenced the arts and the creative economy all over the world and continue to do so on an international level.

The Walk of Fame unveiled on February 15, 2009 continues to grow, thrive and make its way from the MSU Riley Center to the MAEC site. New Walk of Fame stars will accompany the earlier stars of Jimmie Rodgers, Sela Ward, B. B. King, Marty Stuart, William Faulkner, Morgan Freeman, Walter Anderson, Mac McAnally, Hartley Peavey and others.

Join MAEC in its efforts to showcase Mississippi's creative spirit.
