Fall Show opens Saturday, October 23 - Deanna Douglas to judge...
The Vicksburg Art Association's Twenty-fourth Annual Mississippi Exhibition will open Saturday October 23 at 8 PM at the Firehouse Gallery. The public is invited.
Competitive Awards
Best-in-Show will be awarded $500. Ribbons will be awarded to 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and Honorable Mentions in each category according to the discretion of the judge.
The judge for this year's show is Deanna Douglas of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Deanna was born in Illinois but raised on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. She received a B.F.A. in commercial art from the University of Southern Mississippi and an M.F.A. in design from the University of Mississippi.
She taught for eighteen years at Mississippi State University where she was Professor of Art and also in Oregon and Georgia. While at Mississippi State she was selected as the outstanding undergraduate teacher in 1990 and served as the 1985 graduation commencement marshall which is also based on outstanding undergraduate teaching.
Douglas is presently Associate Professor of Art at the University of Southern Mississippi where she teaches graphic design.
Her work has been in over 79 national juried exhibitions since 1973 with work being shown at such museums and galleries as the Bibliotheque nationale in Paris, the Tampa Museum of Art, Parkersburg Art Center in West Virginia, The El Paso Museum of Art, the Arkansas Art Center, the Montgomery Art Center in West Palm Beach and the Lancaster Museum in Lancaster, California.
About her own work Deanna said, "my work is a mixture of techniques used in graphic design and fine arts. I've never seen a conflict in these two areas, but rather a blending that offers each a wider range of possibilities. With this background it follows that I would work in a variety of media."
Purchase Awards:
Purchase awards are being pledged by individuals, businesses and organizations in the community. Approximately 20 were awarded last year.
 Barry Graham installing banners in the Firehouse for the meeting October 12.
Banners Fill the Firehouse for October Meeting...
At 7:30 PM Tuesday, October 12 at the Old Constitution Firehouse Gallery, The Vicksburg Art Association will present a program and exhibition at its October meeting called "Vicksburg's Banners: In From the Cold."
The program will focus on the colorful banners which line some streets of Vicksburg and the local creators of the original art from which they were produced. An exhibit of their work will fill the gallery, along with the actual banners. Barry Graham, former president of the Art Association and coordinator of the banner project for the Mayor's office, will explain the project.
Participating artists, many of whom are Vaa members, will be in attendance to allow the public to meet them and see the faces behind the banners. The complete list: Wanda Warren, Jean Blue, Kennith Humphrey, Robert Dafford/Vicksburg Mural Project, Lee Grant, Earl Simmons, Amy Glisan, Mississippi Audubon Society, Penny Barnett, Alice Jean Dortch, Amanda Holbrook, and Barry Graham.
The public is invited. For more information call 601 638 9221 or visit vicksburgart.com.
