Ballet Mississippi recently hosted Ballet and Blues 2026, the organization’s premier annual fundraising event, at The Plant Venue. The event honored 62 years of Ballet Mississippi’s impact on the cultural life in Mississippi, through performances, professional training for young dancers, and a commitment to education, outreach, and audience development.
Proceeds from the event directly support Ballet Mississippi’s dancers, productions, and mission-driven programming. Attending the event were (from left) Rod and Betty Lynn Freeman, Mickey and Gay Crosby.
