Sipp & Savor is the major annual fundraiser for the max.

The Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience (The MAX for short) is a nonprofit interactive museum located in downtown Meridian, Mississippi.

All funds raised by Sipp & Savor go directly to funding The MAX’s educational arts-based programming, which we feel plays a vital role in preserving and promoting Mississippi’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. The MAX is committed to providing a platform for arts programming for all ages that empowers individuals to explore and celebrate the state’s diverse artistic legacy. By purchasing a ticket, you are instrumental in ensuring the continuity and expansion of these valuable initiatives, which we feel have the potential to make a lasting impact on the community.

Learn more about The MAX, its mission, and its programming by visiting msarts.org.
