Julia Morrisroe: I'm Sorry You Were Saying
2016-08-25 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center opens its 2016-2017 season on Thursday, August 25th with an exhibition of Julia Morrisroe’s I’m Sorry You Were Saying.
Julia Morrisroe is an artist and Associate Professor in painting and drawing at the University of Florida. Morrisroe’s work explores the question of what it means to paint today in an age in which digital technology has led to the proliferation and instant availability of images. Morrisroe is interested in how the flood of images streaming in front of our eyes have affected the way we perceive these images. As Morrisroe explains, “Images can be replicated, expanded, enhanced or associated with other images (relevant or not) instantaneously. The simultaneity of image and experience has led to images becoming hyper-contextualized. The image can no longer exist as a single painting but belongs to a network.” Morrisroe creates series of abstract paintings that invite the viewer to explore this hyper-contextualized condition. In her paintings patterns that are repeated, inverted, rescaled, disrupted, or reappear in different media. The artist’s intention is to “subvert the viewers’ desire to look at one painting, compelling a rambling, hyper-linked experience of viewing.”
Morrisroe holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Northern Illinois University and a Master of Fine Arts from University of Washington. She has exhibited internationally, most recently her work was shown at Americas 2016: Paperworks Juried Exhibition, Minot State University, ND; Claypool Young Gallery, Morehead State University, KY; the Affordable Art Fair, Brooklyn, NY; OBRAS Foundation, Netherlands; National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan. She has received numerous awards, grants and fellowships grants for her work and last year spent time at Anadolu University, Turkey, as Mevlana Faculty Exchange Scholar.
I’m Sorry You Were Saying? will run from August 25th to September 22th, 2016. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, August 25. 5:00-7:00 pm. The artist will present a public lecture on Thursday, September 22 at 4:00 pm. Gallery Hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.

My Life in China
2016-08-28 14:00 - 16:00 | BPAC, Recital Hall
The public is invited to attend a screening of the documentary My Life in China on Aug. 28. PBS describes My Life in China as “an unvarnished portrait of the life and memories of a stoic and reticent man committed to his family and two sons.” The documentary team, Kenneth Eng and Ehren Parks, will bring their film to Delta State on Sunday, August 28 at 2 p.m. in the BPAC Recital Hall. The event is sponsored by the Quality Enhancement Plan, the MS Delta Chinese Heritage Museum and the University Archives & Museum. It is free and open to the public and will include a screening of the film and discussion lead by the filmmakers Eng and Parks. Fleeing China’s Cultural Revolution in 1966, Eng’s father made his way to America to start a new life for his wife and two sons. Stories of his perilous journey to escape poverty and Communism finally led Eng to take his father back to China so that together, they could document the powerful decisions his father made all those years ago. My Life in China is a story of migration passed down from father to son, ultimately asking the question, what does it mean to be both Chinese and American? Other showings of the film are set for: Saturday, Aug. 27: Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library, Memphis, Tenn., at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 29: E. E. Bass, Greenville Arts Council, time 6pm Tuesday, Aug. 30: Jackson State University, College of Liberal Arts Room 166/266, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31: Oxford Public Library, at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1: Hernando Public Library, at 6 p.m. For more information on the program, follow the University Archives & Museum’s facebook page here: www.facebook.com/DSUArchives or call the University Archives at 662.846.4781

More than 25-years after Travis Tritt launched his music career, the Grammy award-winning artist continues to sell-out shows, top sales charts and stay true and relevant to Country music fans across the globe. A Marietta, Ga. native, Travis Tritt is dubbed one of “The Class of ‘89,” which included Country music superstars Garth Brooks, Clint Black and Alan Jackson; all of whom dominated the charts in the early ‘90s. Among his eleven studio albums and numerous charted singles are nineteen Top 10 hits, including “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde,” “Love Of A Woman” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” His twenty-five year career has produced millions in album sales, two Grammy award wins and multiple No. 1 singles on the Country radio charts.
A native of Asheville, North Carolina, country singer/songwriter Luke Combs began writing songs and playing shows while a student at Appalachian State University. It wasn’t long until the crowds got too big to ignore and Luke made the move to Nashville. He released a pair of EPs in 2014, and in 2015, his debut single, “Hurricane,” reached the Top 10 on the iTunes Country Songs Chart. His third EP, This One’s for You, was released later that year and peaked at No. 5 on the iTunes Country Albums Chart. Called “one of the most promising young talents in country music” by Country Music North, Luke’s unapologetic style and fearless vocal abilities is beginning to cause quite a stir in Nashville.

Artist Lecture: Julia Morrisroe on Her Exhibition I’m Sorry You Were Saying?
2016-09-22 16:00 - 17:30 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Julia Morrisroe, whose work is currently on view at the Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery, will speak on her work.
Morrisroe is an artist and Associate Professor in painting and drawing at the University of Florida. Morrisroe’s work explores the question of what it means to paint today in an age in which digital technology has led to the proliferation and instant availability of images. Morrisroe is interested in how the flood of images streaming in front of our eyes have affected the way we perceive these images. As Morrisroe explains, “Images can be replicated, expanded, enhanced or associated with other images (relevant or not) instantaneously. The simultaneity of image and experience has led to images becoming hyper-contextualized. The image can no longer exist as a single painting but belongs to a network.” Morrisroe creates series of abstract paintings that invite the viewer to explore this hyper-contextualized condition. In her paintings patterns that are repeated, inverted, rescaled, disrupted, or reappear in different media. The artist’s intention is to “subvert the viewers’ desire to look at one painting, compelling a rambling, hyper-linked experience of viewing.” For further information contact the Art Department at 662.846.4720.

DSU Faculty Exhibition
2016-09-29 17:00 - 19:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
OPENING RECEPTION : DSU ANNUAL FACULTY EXHIBITION FIELDING WRIGHT ART CENTER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 5:00 TO 7:00 PM Delta State University’s Art Department invites the public to a reception celebrating the opening of its annual faculty exhibition on Thursday, September 29, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. DSU’s art faculty are practicing artists, designers, and filmmakers who regularly exhibit in venues across the nation. The annual faculty exhibition, held at the Fielding Wright Art Center, offers the campus and the community an opportunity to view new work created by these artists. Participating artists are Amy Cannestra, Will Jacks, Ky Johnston, Ron Koehler, Michaela Merryday, Jon Mark Nail, Cetin Oguz, Kim Rushing, Mollie Rushing, Michael Stanley, and Natalie Tyree. Ron Koeher, Chair of the Art Department, creates figurative stories that play with perception and reveal his wonderful sense of humor as in his sculpture Mr. Brickman Loves His Friends. Mr. Brickman is a brick column sculpture surrounded by his brick friends and birds entirely made of wood. Koehler who is known for his endlessly inventive interpretations of brushes has a fascination with tools as well as with how things are made. He recently started to investigate the ordinary hammer which resulted in a set called Ten Hammers. These objects are created from wood and the heads of the hammers are painted with a graphite patina that gives them a metallic-look. Amy Cannestra’s work, shifting between video, sculpture, performance, and digital arts, probes and breaks down the body. Humanizing object and objectifying human by bringing the things we hide to the forefront, putting the uncomfortable out in the open. Her work uses horror, sex, and humor to question our culture’s obsession with body and perfection. Ky Johnston’s new work presents a reflection on his roots in pottery and a continued attempt to blend influences from various sources into functional pottery. In this work he is exploring functional forms, mostly from the wheel, sometimes altered or stretched, often cut or faceted. The glazes use common materials including various clays, wood ash, and some raw pigments and are fired with gas. His goal is to allow the materials, processes, and long history of the craft to play a big role in the end result. Michaela Merryday has explored furniture design and the possibility of combining wood furniture and felt in the past year. The work presented here combine her interest in minimalist design and multi-functional furniture. Jon Mark Nail is a film maker, whose work explores Mississippi, its culture and its mythos. He is fascinated by what he calls Mississippi’s idiosyncrasies. Nail sees Mississippi as “a land steeped in contradiction: a land that is at once lush and barren, a society known for its gentility as well as its savagery, a prideful people and a shamed people.” His work explores the themes of hope and despair, great promise and dreadful demise, love and death, honor and collapse. Cetin Oguz is an abstract painter who is interested in the process of painting. According to the artist, he is preoccupied with “the process which occurs naturally and defines the space and the process which suspends the intellect within the void of its activity. The natural markings, scratches, layers, and lines are kept and reworked in the present as though to reveal more of the past. ” Kim Rushing, who just published a book of a series photographs he had taken at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, MS, twenty years ago, has been thinking a lot about how his approach to image making has changed over the years. For this exhibition he selected a series of photographs from various periods of his career that he still finds exciting. Mollie Rushing is a textile artist whose quilts use pattern and color to create the illusion of texture and space. Michael Stanley’s sculptural work in this exhibition is a continuation of his interests in media, process, form, and function. There are examples of rigid materials and soft materials, examples of slow processes and fast processes, examples of familiar and unfamiliar form, and examples of varying degrees of function. The freedom to move between media, process, form, and function is a key aspect of his creative process and nurtures his compulsion to create. DSU’s Annual Faculty Exhibition will be on view until October 27. The gallery is open Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. For more information, please contact the Art Department at 662-846-4720.

October 4 – The Price of Gold – from espn.com: The world couldn’t keep its eyes off two athletes at the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer – Nancy Kerrigan, the elegant brunette from the Northeast, and Tonya Harding, the feisty blonde engulfed in scandal. Just weeks before the Olympics on Jan. 6, 1994 at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Kerrigan was stunningly clubbed on the right knee by an unknown assailant and left wailing, “Why, why, why?” As the bizarre “why” mystery unraveled, it was revealed that Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, had plotted the attack with his misfit friends to literally eliminate Kerrigan from the competition. Now two decades later, “The Price of Gold” takes a fresh look through Harding’s turbulent career and life at the spectacle that elevated the popularity of professional figure skating and has Harding still facing questions over what she knew and when she knew it.

The Avett Brothers
2016-10-04 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
When you’re receptive to the forces around you, you’ll notice there’s something powerful in the air. It’s that feeling of inspiration to which GRAMMY nominated Americana folk-rock band The Avett Brothers consistently remain open. It’s a spirit that courses through everything they do.
The Avett Brothers release their ninth album True Sadness on June 24, 2016. Over the past 16 years, over three thousand shows, eight albums, and hundreds of thousands of miles later—somewhere along the way, the line between the pursuit of music and what The Avett Brothers recognized as their daily lives faded, then evaporated altogether, and their songs have become increasingly reflective in their nature—open, honest, and to some extent, autobiographical.
The Avett Brothers’ narrative folk-rock tells bigger stories about what it means to be Southern, to be American, to be alive. The Avett Brothers combines bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, indie rock, honkytonk and ragtime—producing a unique sound that delights audiences of all ages.

Mavis Staples and the Blind Boys of Alabama
2016-10-20 19:30 - 22:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
MAVIS STAPLES | There are few living musicians who can lay claim to being the voice of America’s conscience, and even fewer who continue to make vital music. For six decades, Mavis Staples has been the solid rock of American music. Alongside her family group, the Staple Singers, Mavis has managed to transform herself as she goes, yet never alter.
Mavis is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner and a National Heritage Fellowship Award recipient. VH1 named her one of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll and Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. With the release of Mavis Staples’s new album Livin’ On A High Note, she continues to gain momentum, referencing and drawing from her past while taking the music to fresh places.
THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA | The Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. Celebrated by The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and winners of five Grammy® Awards, they have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 60 years and shows no signs of diminishing.
Longevity and major awards aside, The Blind Boys have earned praise for their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by acclaimed songwriters such as Curtis Mayfield, Ben Harper, Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits. Their performances have been experienced by millions on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, the Grammy® Awards telecast, 60 Minutes, and on their own holiday PBS Special. The Blind Boys’ live shows are roof- raising musical events that appeal to audiences of all cultures, as evidenced by an international itinerary that has taken them to virtually every continent.

Opening Reception: Exhibition of Resa Blatman's Gaia Series
2016-11-03 16:00 - 19:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery presents an exhibition of Resa Blatman’s Gaia Series, a multi-media installation that addresses the causes and effects of climate change. Resa Blatman’s exuberant, multi-layered paintings have always been inspired by nature, but in recent years her attention has turned to the alarming signs of climate change – global warming, shrinking arctic icecaps, rising water levels, extreme weather conditions, extinction of animal species, migration of species, and growing scarcity of natural resources. The title of Blatman’s series derives from the Gaia hypothesis developed by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis which provides a model for understanding the threats caused by environmental pollution, industrial exploitation of natural resources, and the growing world population. The theory sees our planet as a complex, synergistic, self-regulating system that helps to sustain conditions for life on Earth. It likens the living system of Earth to the workings of any individual organism that regulates body temperature, blood salinity, etc. The question then is how current developments such as rising global temperatures, ocean salinity, and greenhouse gases affect this system and the habitability of the planet. Blatman recently completed a residency in the Arctic where she could observe the effects of climate change firsthand. Many of the works in this exhibition derive directly from this experience. Resa Blatman is not a scientist, but speaks from the perspective of a concerned citizen of the Earth. She hopes that her work inspires discussion and raises awareness of the issues while also providing her audience with an engaging visual experience. Blatman is an independent artist from Somerville, MA. She earned a MFA from Boston University and a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She has had one person exhibitions at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon, Georgia; Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA; Hartnett Gallery at the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY; and other places. She has been included in numerous group exhibitions, most recently at the Spartanburg Art Museum in Spartanburg, SC . Her work is in public and private collections across the United States, Europe and South Africa. An opening reception for Resa Blatman’s Gaia Series will be held Thursday, November 3, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The artist will discuss the work in the gallery before the opening reception at 4:00 pm. The exhibition will run until December 8. Gallery Hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.

Handel's Messiah
2016-11-28 19:00 - 21:00 | BPAC Main Theater
Zeigel Hall on the campus of Delta State is currently filled with the sounds of one of the most beloved musical works of all time, “Messiah,” by George Frideric Handel.
The Delta Chorale, Delta Singers Okramen and Delta Singers Women’s Chorale are learning the masterwork for a performance at the Bologna Performing Arts Center on Nov. 28 at 7 p.m.
Across town on Monday nights at First United Methodist Church, the Delta Choral Union is learning the same music in preparation for a grand collaboration that will take shape over the next three weeks, culminating in the concert performance.
Dr. Adam Potter, director of Choral Activities at Delta State and the conductor of the Delta Chorale and Delta Singers Women’s Chorale, is the music director for the performance. He will share the podium with ElizaBeth Beckham, conductor of the Delta Choral Union, and Kevin Tharp, conductor of the Delta Singers Okramen.
“There is no better way to kick off the holiday season than with a gala choral performance like this,” said Potter. “We are so excited to bring ‘Messiah’ to the Delta.”
The Delta Chorale is the premier touring vocal ensemble at Delta State. Comprised of approximately 40 mixed voices, it performs frequently both on and off campus. Its repertoire features high-quality choral music from diverse styles, musical eras, languages and cultures. The chorale has performed by invitation at state and regional conferences of the Mississippi Music Educators Association and American Choral Directors Association.
Delta Singers encompasses two separate choirs, the Okramen men’s choir and Women’s Chorale, which perform together frequently. These non-auditioned choirs provide singers an opportunity to learn many styles of music and also focus on developing vocal and musicianship skills. They also serve as lab choirs for advanced student conductors.
The Delta Choral Union is an adult volunteer community choir based in Cleveland. It has a proud history of excellent singing and highly-anticipated concerts. Beckham serves as its music director. For this performance, the Delta State University choral program has hired a full roster of professional string players from the Memphis Symphony Orchestra to accompany the choirs. Their concertmaster will be Anne-Gaëlle Ravetto, instructor of violin at Delta State.
Department of Music faculty Josh Armstrong, Shelley Collins, Michael Ellzey, Bret Pimentel and Kumiko Shimizu will complete the orchestra in the wind, percussion and continuo sections.
The performance will also feature professional artists presenting the vocal solos Handel interspersed between the choruses. Laurissa Backlin, soprano, is currently an assistant professor of music at Delta State. Chad Payton, countertenor, is an assistant professor of voice at Capital University in Ohio (former DSU faculty from 2011-16). Jamie Dahman, tenor, joined the DSU voice faculty this fall. Patton Rice, bass-baritone, is the director of vocal music at the Mississippi School of the Arts and a frequent soloist with Mississippi Opera.
Tickets for this event are available at the Bologna Performing Arts Center box office or at choir.deltastate.edu. They are $15 for adults, $10 for DSU faculty and staff, and $5 for students and senior citizens.
This performance has been made possible by a generous donation from Margaret Heard Walker.

This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.

Ashes to Go
2017-03-01 09:15 - 11:00 | 1st Floor Lobby, Student Union
Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence.
From the Middle Ages it became the
custom to begin Lent by being marked in
ash with the sign of the cross. The
reminder that we are dust turns our
attention to the creative power of God,
and God’s ability to heal the brokenness in
our lives when we offer that brokenness to
God. That turning to God is the work of
Lent, preparation for the celebration of
Easter.
We’re offering ashes in the union today because that reminder of
need, humility, and healing shouldn’t be
confined to a church building. We
probably need it more when we are in the
middle of our daily business! The ashes we
receive here are to remind us throughout
the day of our need for God, and of God’s
call to us.
There is much more to the beginning of
Lent than ashes alone, and we encourage
you to make time for worship with a
community of faith, for the support of
others and of the great traditions of faith
in our work of repentance and renewal.
But God meets us not just in worship, but
in the midst of life, and we offer the
opportunity to remember our faith to
those whose schedules make it hard to
stop and pray with others today.

Dar He: The Story of Emmett Till
2017-04-04 19:00 - 20:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
In 1955, a 14-year-old black Chicago youth traveled to the Mississippi Delta with country kinfolk and southern cooking on his mind. He walked off the train and into a world he could never understand– a world of thick color lines, of hard-held class systems and unspeakable taboos. Young Emmett crossed that line and stepped into his gruesome fate by whistling at a white woman. The riveting plan chronicles the murder, trial, and unbelievable confession of the men accused of Till’s lynching. The one-actor, multiple-character original drama is performed by Mike Wiley, a North Carolina-based actor & playwright whose compelling works of documentary theatre yield rich and powerful journeys to milestones and turning points of a cultural history.
Tickets will be free but required; tickets will be available March 1, 2017.
Performance made possible by a grant through the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area.
Presented in conjunction with the Winning the Race conference.

They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions. The 65-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers’ Chorus perform regularly in some of the most famous concert halls in the world, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities. The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals. The band and chorus also perform independently, and have recently shared the stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops, the Cincinnati Pops, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra. In addition to their national tours, formal concerts, chamber recitals, and educational outreach, members of the Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions, including the Presidential Inaugural Parade, presidential funerals, the Army AllAmerican Bowl, and diplomatic efforts overseas.

With a rich, deep voice and distinctive style, Turner has sold more than 12 million units, is a disciple of traditional country music and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry. From his 2003 Platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his most recent 2012 Billboard No. 1 release Punching Bag, Turner has garnered multiple GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM nominations. Turner’s hits include “Your Man,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “Firecracker,” “Would You Go with Me,” “All Over Me,” and “Time Is Love,” the most played country song of 2012.
Turner added author to his list of accomplishments. His first book, Man Stuff: Thoughts on Faith, Family and Fatherhood was released in 2014. The Hannah, S.C. native has been songwriting and performing since he was a young child, and in support of music education, created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts and music. As a high school student, Turner had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts education in schools.

Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery and the Mississippi Museum of Art Present Home and Away: On the Road with Marie Hull
To celebrate Mississippi’s Bicentennial, the Mississippi Museum of Art has partnered with communities across the state to showcase Mississippi artists from the museum’s permanent collection as part of Art Across Mississippi: Twelve Exhibitions – Twelve Communities. The Fielding Wright Center will host a selection of work by famed Mississippi artist Marie Hull. Marie Hull had a special connection to Delta State University’s art department and its former chair, Malcolm Norwood. Marie Hull donated 75 works of art, including a number of her own paintings and artwork from her personal collection, to the university which became the foundation for the department’s permanent art collection.
Home and Away: On the Road with Marie Hull brings together a series of paintings created during Marie Hull’s travels. The artist traveled widely throughout North America as well as to France, Spain, and Morocco. She recorded her delightful impressions of the places she visited in her sketchbooks, 67 of which she left to the Mississippi Museum of Art. From this trove of private treasures the museum has selected 30 sketches for this exhibition. These sketches provide a unique glimpse into the creative process of one of Mississippi’s greatest artists.
Home and Away: On the Road with Marie Hull opens with a public reception at the Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery on Thursday, June 8, 2017 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Representatives from the Mississippi Museum of Art will be present and able to answer questions about the artist or their bicentennial program. The exhibition will remain on view throughout the summer, until July 27. Summer gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The Great American Eclipse
2017-08-21 11:55 - 14:50 | Walter/Caylor
The Great American Eclipse
On August 21, a total solar eclipse will be visible across the continental United States. Because of the accessibility to so many people, this will likely be the most photographed astronomical event in history. The nearest major city where one could go to observe this total solar eclipse is Nashville, TN.
The Wiley Planetarium at Delta State University will host an eclipse-viewing event. Although the total eclipse is not visible from Mississippi, Cleveland will be able to see a 90% partial eclipse. Solar eclipse glasses and telescopes with solar filters will be available to safely observe the eclipse. Please join us any time during the eclipse outside Walters Hall on campus to observe this spectacular sight.
Eclipse Stage Time
Start 11:55 am
Maximum 1:25 pm
End 2:50 pm
Note: In the event of rain or cloudy weather, people are invited to come to the Wiley Planetarium where the presentation “IBEX: Exploring the Edge of Our Solar System” will be shown.
Safety Statement:
Never look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse, because permanent eye damage or blindness could occur.
Never look at the Sun through a telescope without a proper solar filter. Permanent blindness can occur in an instant.
You should only observe the eclipse directly with eclipse glasses or viewers which are compliant with ISO 12312-2. Even the darkest sunglasses or other homemade filters are not safe for observing the eclipse.
Additional safety information can be found at https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety.

Ron Koehler Retrospective: 45 Years of Sculpture
2017-08-24 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center opens its 2017-2018 season on Thursday, August 31st with Ron Koehler Retrospective: 45 Years of Sculpture, an exhibition celebrating the career of its former chair.
Ron Koehler has taught at Delta State University for thirty-five years and served as chair of the art department for more than a decade. He retired this past summer as Professor and Chair Emeritus. During his long and distinguished career, Ron Koehler participated in over 500 regional, national, and international exhibitions, received countless awards, and saw his work enter the permanent collections of museums and galleries across the nation.
The retrospective, opening on August 31st, offers a rare opportunity to glimpse the astonishing breadth of Koehler’s artistic pursuits, the subject matter that has occupied him, and the variety of media he has employed. The artist acknowledges that a casual visitor might get the impression that the work in this exhibition was created by more than one artist. According to the artist what connects all of his work is his interest in exploration: “Exploration of shape, form, media, color, texture, concept and genre. Exploration of technique, movement, scale, iconography, purpose and activism. Exploration of personal goals. Exploration of time and place. Exploration of fear, and exploration of the absurd.” His explorations of a subject matter or the possibilities of a medium often lead him to work in series. This retrospective includes a number of these series such as the humorous Balanced Diet series, various series of tools, and examples from his famous Brush series which numbers in the hundredths.
Another connecting element is the artist’s wonderful sense of humor. It is the structuring element in the Balanced Diet series which consists of an assortment of cholesterol heavy food items, but manifests itself in a more subtle way in his use of materials as in a recycled column that becomes the base of a figure or a piece of drift wood that is transformed into a brush. It also manifests itself in the delight Koehler takes in visual puns as when a piece of wood is manipulated in excess to fool the eye into thinking it is a Styrofoam cup, wood shavings come to simulate the bread crumbs on a fried chicken leg, and a perspective drawing is encased in a frame rendered in perspective.
Looking back at his career thus far, Koehler remarked: “I’m not sure if I made the choice to devote my life to creating art or if the choice was made for me long before I was born by some cosmic combustion I was never privy to. What I can say for absolute certain is that art and the creation of it has defined my life in immeasurable ways. This exhibition, I hope, will document the trip thus far.” We are looking forward to seeing where it will take him next.
Ron Koehler Retrospective: 45 Years of Sculpture will run from August 24th to September 21st, 2017. Ron Koehler generously donated all proceeds from the sale of artworks on display in this retrospective to the foundation of the Salley/Koehler Community College Scholarship Fund at Delta State University.
An opening reception will be held on Thursday, August 31st from 5:00-7:00 pm. Regular gallery Hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit with special guest Amanda Shires
Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, guitarist Jason Isbell and his mighty band, The 400 Unit, have announced the June 16th release of the highly anticipated new album, The Nashville Sound. The Nashville Sound is the follow up to 2015’s critically acclaimed Something More Than Free, which won two Grammy Awards (Best Americana Album & Best American Roots Song, “24 Frames”) and two Americana Music Association Awards (Album of the Year & Song of The Year, “24 Frames”).
Without exaggeration, Jason Isbell has become one the most respected and celebrated songwriters of his generation. He possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest, yet simplest, human emotions, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with thoughtful, heartfelt, and sometimes brutal honesty, and the new album is no exception.

Delta State University's 92nd Anniversary
2017-09-13 12:00 - 13:30 | Whitfield Hall
92ndAnniversaryHomepageArt
The Declaration of Independence made a mad dash to campus for a weekend. William Faulkner found himself spending a delightful afternoon sipping a cold Coke and enjoying a plate of BBQ chicken. Our quadrangle once sported a healthy crop of wheat which eventually became bread for resident students’ Sunday dinner. These events and much more are the threads that, woven together, create the some of the best stories in Delta State’s history.
“Delta State University President William N. LaForge, joined by members of the Dedicated Statesmen Association, will celebrate 92 years of Delta State’s history on Wednesday, September 13 with a program held in historic Whitfield Hall, named for the MS Governor who signed the bill creating Delta State Teachers College.
The program will include a brief history of Governor Whitfield, remarks on some of the historic events which took place in and around Whitfield Gym and musical entertainment provided by the University Band. Members of the Dedicated Statesmen invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community to enjoy a light lunch provided on the lawn outside of Whitfield Hall. Guests will have an opportunity to view some of the updates made to the Lena Roberts Sillers Chapel, a focus project for the DSA.
Dr. James Robinson, president of the DSA committee, is exited to once again celebrate the university’s founding.
“We should celebrate each year with growing excitement as the 100th birthday approaches,” said Robinson. “A yearly celebration allows more of our students to be on campus to learn about the school’s history and its exciting future. The Founders’ Day activities help our spirits and bring us closer as students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends.”
Emily Jones, university archivist, has been working closely with the DSA to bring the event together.
“We celebrate our anniversary not for our own benefit, but for those before us and those who will come after us,” said Jones. “I enjoy spotlighting our history, and I’m thankful that we have the platform of our anniversary to do that each year.”

Voice Care for the Professional Educator
2017-09-28 18:00 - 19:30 | Baioni Conference Center, Broom Hall
On Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. in the Baioni Conference Center, Todd Wedge, a vocal pedagogue and associate professor of voice at Kennesaw State University, will present a lecture on this topic and will focus on vocal health and hygeine, vocal pathology awareness, and modifications that can be made in the classroom to help teachers prevent vocal distress.
A recent clinical study of professional educators performed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology published the following results: 58% of professional educators report voice difficulties at some point during their career, nearly twice the incidence of the general population; 47% of American teachers experience voice trouble daily; 1 in 10 teachers has been forced out of the profession because of vocal difficulty.
Wedge received his Bachelor of Music degree from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and furthered his studies with a Master of Music in Vocal Performance and Literature from the Northwestern University Bienen School of Music. In 2015, Wedge was invited to join the voice faculty at Kennesaw State University where he is currently an assistant professor of voice. Prior to this appointment, Wedge was the director of the Vocal Music Department at the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts — a public arts magnet school that specializes in pre-conservatory curriculum for both classical voice and musical theater.
He has been the fortunate recipient of awards from the Friends of Austria Lieder Competition, American Opera Society, Bel Canto Society, and the Loretta Kearns Award for Excellence in Music Education. In 2013, Wedge was selected by the San Francisco Classical Voice as “Music Educator of the Year,” which lead to a nomination for the GRAMMY foundation “Music Educator of the Year,” for which he was a semi-finalist. In 2014, he was nominated for the San Francisco Mayor’s Teacher of the Year Award and was selected to be a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Scholar in Vienna, Austria where he focused his research on the operas of W.A. Mozart.
Wedge is frequently featured as the tenor soloist in the oratorio works of Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Bach, and Mozart, while also maintaining a robust recital schedule. He was a young artist with the Chicago Opera Theater while also serving on the faculty at the University of Notre Dame School of Music and St. Xavier University where he taught studio voice and vocal pedagogy. Shortly thereafter, he was invited to join the GRAMMY award-winning men’s ensemble Chanticleer. Over the course of these three life-changing years, Wedge helped bring audiences to their feet in over 200 cities and 13 different countries in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls. In addition to the rigorous touring schedule, Wedge also spent considerable time in the recording studio and can be heard on the following albums: And on Earth, Peace: A Chanticleer Mass; Let it Snow; The Best of Chanticleer; A Chanticleer Christmas; The Mission Road-Our Journey Back; (DVD & CD), and The Singing Life (DVD).
Wedge currently maintains a private vocal studio in Atlanta, Georgia and is frequently seen as a recitalist, guest conductor, lecturer, and clinician in the Bay Area.

Aaron Neville Duo
2017-10-03 19:30 - 21:00 | BPAC
Having one of the most evocative and recognizable voices in American music, Aaron Neville is an international ambassador of New Orleans R&B, though his soaring falsetto sounds at home in many styles. Coming of age in the incredibly creative 1950s Crescent City R&B scene, Neville gained national attention with his 1966 hit “Tell It Like It Is,” the stirring ballad and #1 hit, as well as with the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a touring Mardi Gras celebration that led to the creation of the Neville Brothers band — an institution that would confirm Neville’s iconic status.
Over his four-time Grammy-winning solo career, Neville has scored a string of hits starting with “Tell It Like It Is,” memorable duets with Linda Ronstadt including “Don’t Know Much” and a hugely popular cover of Main Ingredient’s “Everybody Plays the Fool.” His latest album, Apache, is a solo album that makes the case for Aaron Neville as the most holistic of soul men. Its hard R&B side matches anything the Neville Brothers ever recorded for true grit, while still allowing plenty of space for a singer who’s arguably the most distinctive vocal stylist on the planet to tell it like it is.

Two sons from a working class family, John and TJ Osborne grew up in a small, Maryland water town writing and playing songs for friends and family in their father’s shed. John moved to Nashville first to play in other bands and two years later, TJ joined him. It was then they formed Brothers Osborne as a twang-and-crunch duo that blends equal parts country and rock into one of the freshest, most identifiable sounds to come out of Nashville in recent years.
The singer/songwriter siblings recently won both “Vocal Duo of the Year” and “New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year” at the 52nd ACM Awards and they also stand as the reigning CMA “Vocal Duo of the Year”. Brothers Osborne’s debut album PAWN SHOP was released January 2016 and features their current rowdy single “It Ain’t My Fault” in addition to the GRAMMY-nominated, No.1 smash hit “Stay A Little Longer” as well as the GRAMMY-nominated “21 Summer.” Brothers Osborne just embarked on their first-headlining The Dirt Rich Tour this past fall after previously touring with the likes of Eric Church, Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert. They recently completed a stint touring with Chris Stapleton on his All-American Road Show Tour.

Brandon Thibodeaux’s In That Land of Perfect Day: Artist Lecture and Exhibition Opening
2018-01-18 16:00 - 19:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center opens the New Year on Thursday, January 18 with an opening reception for the exhibition of Brandon Thibodeaux’s In That Land of Perfect Day. The artist will speak about his work before the opening at 4:00 pm.
The exhibition In That Land of Perfect Day, as the book by the same title, is the visual document of a period of eight years Brandon Thibodeaux spent living in the northern Mississippi Delta. It chronicles the lives of the families he befriended there, marking important milestones such as the birth of a child as well as capturing their daily routines as they worked, played, attended church and provided for their children. Seen together these photographs are testament to the strength, faith and perseverance of his subjects. Thibodeaux explains that “While this work makes specific reference to the rural African American experience, I am reminded that these themes of faith, identity, and perseverance are common to us all. For these are the traits of strong men.”
In That land of Perfect Day has been reviewed in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian and other main stream publications. The Guardian praised the photographs as depicting “the contemporary experience of rural African Americans with grace and dignity.
Brandon Thibodeaux’s career in photography began at a small daily newspaper in southeast Texas while studying photography at Lamar University. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Photojournalism from the University of North Texas with a specialization in International Development. He currently resides in Dallas, TX, where he works for clients like Shell Oil International, MSNBC.com, TIME.com, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, among others. When he’s not doing that he is likely found running the back roads of the American South with a twin lens over his shoulder.
In That Land of Perfect Day will be on view until February 22. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, January 18, 5:00-7:00 pm. The artist will present a public lecture in the gallery before the opening reception at 4:00 pm. Gallery Hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.
