Latest online educational offerings funded by MAC Rapid Response grant<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Delta Blues Museum <\/strong>is expanding its educational offerings online to include three new\u00a0Virtual Tours<\/strong><\/a>, produced by Mississippi filmmaker Coop Cooper<\/strong> and available online later this month. Each video will feature a new tour “guide” inside the Museum, and each guide will offer their insight into a different Blues <\/strong>artist.\u00a0Mississippi <\/strong>musicians Jimbo Mathus<\/strong> and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram<\/strong> along with Arts & Education instructor John Holmes<\/strong> will serve as guides for the new tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest videos are being underwritten by the Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC)<\/strong> Rapid Response<\/strong> grant program.\u00a0MAC Rapid Response grants were created\u00a0to support small-scale arts activities in Mississippi communities and to adapt artistic focused work in an online setting.\u00a0These funds are part of an expanded version of MAC’s Minigrants program, designed to assist with the urgent needs of art organizations amidst the ongoing COVID-19<\/strong> pandemic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is supported\u00a0in part by funding from MAC, a state agency, and in part\u00a0from the National Endowment for the Arts<\/strong>, a federal agency.\u00a0All of Delta Blues Museum’s virtual tours are free to the public and accessible online at https:\/\/www.deltabluesmuseum.org\/field-trip-tour.aspx<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Tour viewer donations are suggested and appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
