AT&T presents Makers in Their Spaces is an online offering in which MMA’s virtual participants are invited into the creative space – physical, mental, social, or otherwise – of a maker, thereby giving them unique insight into how that particular artist draws inspiration from their surroundings during this time.
Virtually join artist Ming Ying Hong, Mississippi State University professor and 2021 South Arts Mississippi State Fellow, on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube for a studio tour on Saturday, July 31 at 10 AM.
Join us Monday, August 2 at 6 PM, on Instagram live, as we host an interactive discussion with Ming. Participants will gain more insight on Ming’s installations and drawings, as well as her latest series about belonging.
