Reception Honoring Tony Sansone & Ken Rainey

Tony Sansone and Ken Rainey played pivotal roles in transforming Meridian into a hub for arts and entertainment. Their contributions, particularly through the Lively Arts Festival and the Jimmie Rodgers Festival, have been instrumental in establishing Meridian as Mississippi’s unofficial capital of culture.

This reception is our opportunity to honor their legacy and celebrate the Queen City’s vibrant arts scene they helped create.

Join us for an evening of inspiration, reflection, and celebration as we honor Meridian’s past and look forward to its culturally rich future.
