One of Mississippi’s most creative collaborative efforts, • Link Centre plans and implements a variety of high-quality arts programs throughout the year, including the popular Monthly Music Mix series, a diverse artist residency program outreach, and Sessions Spoken Word programs/Wordplay writing workshops. We partner with a variety of community initiatives, including the Excel by 5/school readiness project, Read First literacy project, and the CBRC (Community Based Recovery Committee/local disaster relief). An exciting new initiative begun in 2019 is Start with the Arts, a program that brings professional teaching artists into area daycares for standards-based arts integration lessons and staff training. Link Centre serves as a community resource for scores of regional organizations who hold concerts, screenings, workshops, seminars, lectures, dinners, and other events in one of Link’s three performance venues or versatile meeting spaces. At Link, people are actively working together, sharing resources, building bridges, and creating community in ways designed to bind us together rather than pull us apart. All forms of art find a place at Link Centre: symphonic music to improv comedy; classical ballet to contemporary dance; storytelling to filmmaking; spoken word to song writing; children’s art, music, and drama lessons to senior projects; blues legends to Elvis tribute artists. All roads lead to Link; all are welcome. As home to the Tupelo Arts Council as well as several of its member organizations, the organization is always reaching out to further our collaborative efforts as we seek to be community problem solvers and advocates for the power of the arts.
