Dear Friends:

Welcome to the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience. Today is the reward for a lot of hard work by a large group of dedicated people.

The Max will enrich Meridian and our state as a whole, serving as a world-class venue to celebrate Mississippi’s unique creative heritage and to inspire those who will build upon it in the future.

This wonderful facility will strengthen our state’s status as a global desitnation for those interested in exploring the roots of American music and art. I am grateful to everone who has made it a reality.

Congratulations on reaching this milestone, and enjoy this special day.

Sincerely,

Phil Bryant

Governor
