Hello Everyone! Please join us for our February Program!

“The Challenge of Seeing,” featuring Kathy Gergo, will be an exciting members-only VAA opportunity to see Kathy evaluate and offer suggestions on current works by selected local artists. Each artist featured will bring two works, one successful and one with challenges, to be evaluated by Kathy in her studio while everyone attending has the chance to learn.

Kathy brings great experience and knowledge to this program. A native of Hungary whose art studies at the University of Budapest were interrupted by the 1956 revolution, Kathy arrived in the United States and enrolled at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1961. She moved to New Orleans and supplemented her studies by taking courses at Tulane and workshops with some of the country’s finest watercolor teachers. Since becoming a professional artist in 1974, Kathy has taught watercolor, given workshops, lectured, and served as juror for numerous art organizations. In 1986 she became a faculty member of the New Orleans Academy of Fine Art.

Kathy moved to Vicksburg in the wake of Katrina and now makes it her home. She has graciously offered her hospitality and talent in helping other artists as the program for the Vicksburg Art Association on February 7 in her studio, beginning at 7 pm. If anyone is interested in being one of the featured artists, please contact Linda Hall at 601-994-4618 or pigoleta@yahoo.com. Timing and seating have limited the number receiving this evaluation to twelve, so please respond quickly. And, of course, every member is welcome to come and participate by observing only.

Please join us for “The Challenge of Seeing” at seven on February seventh!
