March Meeting Announced     

            

      

Art in Every Day Life is the theme for a panel discussion at the Vicksburg Art Association's monthly meeting Tuesday (March 14, 2006) at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Constitution Firehouse, Openwood and Main Streets.

Panel participants will be Jean O'Neil, fashion consultant; Regina Gailani,owner of Art & Soul; and Jeff Richardson, landscape architect for City ofVicksburg. They will be discussing art for the body, home and surroundings and encouraging audience participation to define: Art in Every Day Life. Is it an approach to any aspect of life? A flair with thought and a touch of design without necessarily costing more than the mundane items often found surrounding us? What do you think?

Members and the interested public are invited to bring their questions for the panelists and to bring some of their own examples of Art in Every DayLife: quilting, jewelry, bonsai, kitchenware, woodcraft, etc. - objects which reflect handmade craftsmanship and a strong sense of design.

Participants of 2005-2006 VAA Workshops will show their work created during the workshops.

The event is free and open to the public.

About the Firehouse

                        The VAA is fortunate to have as its headquarters one of Vicksburg's first firehouses. This building has been designated as a Mississippi Landmark by the Department of Archives and History. The Old Constitution Firehouse is believed by the Archives and History Department to be the most intact Victorian fire station in the state.

It was built in 1870 as the second house for the city's first volunteer fire company and later housed the first paid company.

  The building retains the central stall, barracks room, cupola, and bell which was used to call the volunteers.

  The presence of the fire station made the Openwood - Main Street area one of the most desirable residential districts in Vicksburg before 1876.
