2017-04-27 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Multi-platinum MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner, is one of country music’s most recognizable hit-makers. 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.

Robot Explorers 3D
Come explore the solar system in 3D! Near the end of the twentieth century, we began launching unmanned probes into the far reaches of the solar system. What they discovered was amazing and in some cases unexpected. Now dozens of probes continue the exploration. New space missions are underway, and many of these robust spacecraft are still operational, beaming their knowledge back to Earth every day. We will pay tribute to these robots who have explored in our stead and experience what they have taught us about our solar system. Narrated by Brent Spiner of TV’s Star Trek: The Next Generation.

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.

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.

Brothers Osborne
2017-10-19 19:30 - 21:00 | BPAC
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.

Hamlet
2018-02-06 19:30 - 21:00 | BPAC
Hamlet is arguably Shakespeare’s greatest play. Written in 1602, it is one of the most complete portrayals of the human psyche that exists in Western Literature. A compelling tale of familial discord, personal ambition, love and revenge, Hamlet has enthralled audiences for 400 years. Mortality and madness are two of the most pronounced themes of Shakespeare’s epic and the characters; Hamlet, Ophelia, Gertrude, and Claudius inhabit a rich landscape replete with deceit, mistrust, and schemes. Four centuries after its premiere, Hamlet continues as one of the classics of the world stage.
Aquila Theatre’s productions of Shakespeare have been critically acclaimed by The New Yorker as “beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing and crystalline in effect.” The New York Times says that Aquila “makes Shakespeare perfectly comprehensible” and hails the company as “an extraordinarily inventive and disciplined outfit.”
Directed by Desiree Sanchez, Aquila’s Hamlet will seek to shed new light on this tragic story. The production will use Sanchez’s innovative use of movement, design, sound, and superb acting to vividly explore the depths of rage, madness, love and death brought about by a culture of obsessive personal ambition.

2018-02-07 10:00 - 12:00 | BPAC
Hamlet is arguably Shakespeare’s greatest play. Written in 1602, it is one of the most complete portrayals of the human psyche that exists in Western Literature. A compelling tale of familial discord, personal ambition, love and revenge, Hamlet has enthralled audiences for 400 years. Mortality and madness are two of the most pronounced themes of Shakespeare’s epic and the characters; Hamlet, Ophelia, Gertrude, and Claudius inhabit a rich landscape replete with deceit, mistrust, and schemes. Four centuries after its premiere, Hamlet continues as one of the classics of the world stage.
The New York Times says that Aquila Theatre “makes Shakespeare perfectly comprehensible” and hails the company as “an extraordinarily inventive and disciplined outfit.”
Best for Middle and High School audiences.

Equally at home in concert halls and living rooms, The Westerlies navigate a wide array of venues with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.

Raymond Gaddy: Specimens Opening Reception
2018-08-23 17:00 - 19:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center opens its 2018-2019 season on Thursday, August 23th with an exhibition of Raymond Gaddy’s Specimens.
Raymond Gaddy grew up in southwest Alabama and his work is strongly influenced by the stories he heard there during his youth. According to Gaddy, there is a long tradition of Southern storytellers, historians of the mundane. Many of the South’s great writers fit into this category. As a result of being immersed in this environment, he too has become a storyteller. Not being blessed with the gift of words, Gaddy presents his stories in visual form, creating tapestries that combine different images, materials, and textures that are linked together by colorful threads. The stories he presents are based on everyday experiences and observations because, as Gaddy puts it, “The best stories have a history, a provenance, which gives them some gravity.”
Raymond Gaddy is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Georgia Southern University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the U.S and Europe and his work is in numerous collections including the College of Notre Dame of Maryland; The Savannah College of Art and Design; and the Library of Congress. Raymond is a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship and a Joan Mitchell Grant.
Raymond Gaddy: Specimens will run from August 23 to September 27, 2018. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, August 23. 5:00-7:00 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.

Art, Architecture and Culture of Vienna:
DSU 2019 Summer Study in Vienna, Austria
Sponsored by the Department of Art and Continuing Education at Delta State University
Information Meeting on Thursday, October 4, 4:00 pm, HNA 151
Vienna is one of the world’s foremost centers of art, architecture and music, home to some of the greatest museum collections in the world. Now a modern metropolis, Vienna was once the capital of the Habsburg empire, the relics of its glorious past – Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces and churches, majestic boulevards, a range of historicist buildings, and Art Nouveau architecture – endow the city with a rich historical dimension and offer the opportunity to study several centuries of art history in one place.
Over the course of 2 weeks, we will visit many of Vienna’s great museums including the Kunsthistorische Museum, whose holdings include numerous examples familiar to students from their art history survey classes, the Belevedere’s collection of Sezession artists Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka, the new Museumsquartier, home to several museums dedicated to modern and contemporary art, take a field trip to the Roman legionary city of Carnuntum, immerse ourselves in the Middle Ages with a visit to a medieval fortress, see various Baroque churches, tour a Rococo palace that rivals Versailles in France, compare the historicist buildings along the Ringstrasse, and explore the complexity of fin-de-siècle Vienna as exemplified by its Art Nouveau architecture and the work of the Sezession artists.
Of course, a visit to Vienna is not complete without also partaking in the local culture, thus we will attend the opera one evening, sample the local cuisine, try coffee at a real Viennese Kaffeehaus, tour a wine cellar and sample some of its offerings.
Participants can earn up to 6 academic credit hours for this trip by registering for a variety of art and art history courses.
To learn more about this program, attend an informational meeting on Thursday, October 4, 4:00 pm in 151 HNA

Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery presents Kristy Deetz: Threads, Folds, and Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making
2018-11-12 08:00 - 17:00, 2018-12-03 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery presents Kristy Deetz: Threads, Folds, and Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making
Threads, Folds, and Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making consists of a series of jacquard weavings based on paintings from Kristy Deetz’s Through the Veil and Holidays Unfolding series. Deetz’s work borrows imagery from pop, outsider, and high culture to examine how images acquire meaning and how that meaning is transformed and augmented by viewers. She frequently uses dark humor, puns, metaphors, and references to art history to draw attention to this transformation. In her paintings, trompe l’oeil renderings of fabrics that form the background to the images allude to the process of weaving together a story, here the complex layering of threads in the jacquard weavings become a metaphor for the construction of meaning.
Kristy Deetz is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin—Green Bay. Her extensive exhibition record includes national and international venues. She co-curated the exhibition FABRICation that traveled to art museums, university art galleries, and art centers. She has received numerous awards for her work and her teaching including SECAC’s 2016 Award for Excellence in Teaching and a 2015 Silver Award from Graphis Design Annual, NY. Most, recently she was selected for an Erasmus Visiting Lectureship at the University of Kassel, Germany, and a residency at The Burren College of Art in Ireland.
An opening reception for Kristy Deetz: Threads, Folds, and Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making will be held on Thursday, November 8, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The exhibition will be on view until December 13. 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.

2019-01-23 12:00 - 13:00 | Broom, Baioni Conference Center
12-1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, Guest-Speaker Bridget Arend’s Presentation: “Seven Ways of Learning: Matching your goals with the most effective teaching methods”
The popularity of active learning methods and the explosion of different teaching options means that college teachers have the ability to choose where, when, how to engage students in learning. As options increase, it is increasingly important to leverage the most appropriate and effective teaching methods. In this workshop, participants will explore seven common ways of learning in higher education. However, we will go beyond the usual discussion of tips and techniques to explore the underlying purpose, rationale, and best use of these methods. Participants will explore their own learning goals and tie them to the most effective teaching methods.

“Ed Scott was a trailblazing Mississippi farmer and the first non-white owner and operator of a catfish plant in the nation. He battled long odds and institutionalized racism to carve out of the Mississippi Delta land an agricultural empire of black self-determination, which flowed out to and benefited his surrounding community. Along the way he ducked Nazi sniper fire in a ditch with General Patton in World War II, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge at Selma, gave farming advice to civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, and battled for justice against the leviathan United States government.” – author Julian Rankin

Dr. Jamie Dahman, Mississippi Humanities Council Presentation
2019-03-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Zeigel Hall
Each year, state colleges and universities across the state of Mississippi nominate one humanities faculty member to receive a Mississippi Humanities Council Award.
This year, Delta State University’s nominee is Dr. Jamie Dahman, assistant professor of music.
“I’m honored to have been nominated by my department chair, Dr. Karen Fosheim, and by Dean Breaux,” said Jamie. “I feel fortunate to work with such supportive colleagues and administrators. They could have picked any number of faculty from a humanities area in the College of Arts and Sciences. I’m honored and humbled that they nominated me.”
Dahman will give a lecture-recital on Tuesday, March 5, 2019, at 7 p.m. in the Choral Rehearsal Room in Zeigel Hall on the Delta State Campus. His presentation is called “Bulgarian Art Song: History, Development, and Performance.”
“I was fortunate to have been a Fulbright Fellow from January 2012 – May 2012. While studying at the Academy of Music, Dance, and Fine Art in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, I was able to collect several collections of Bulgarian classical song. From those, I curated a volume of Bulgarian art songs called Bulgarian Art Song. I’m happy anytime I can share this music with an audience. It deserves a place alongside the standard vocal repertoire for a singer.”
Dahman has been at Delta State since 2016. He teaches applied voice, lyric diction, and vocal pedagogy. He also serves as an Okra Scholars mentor and is the campus Fulbright Program Adviser and Scholar Liaison.
“In addition to sharing what I learned during my time as a Fulbright Fellow, I hope I can get students and faculty interested in pursuing opportunities through Fulbright,” he said. “It’s a life-changing, and life-affirming, experience I’ll never forget!”
A short reception will follow the presentation. Jamie will attend the Mississippi Humanities Council Gala later this spring.

Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden Biennial Exhibition of Models
2019-08-22 17:00 - 19:00, 2019-08-23 08:00 - 17:00, 2019-08-26 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery will be hosting an exhibition of sketches and maquettes for the work featured in this year’s Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Biennial. The Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden has become the pride of the local art community and a favorite tourist destination. Its reach has expanded from the area in front of the Bologna Performing Arts Center to the grounds of the Grammy Museum and to downtown Cleveland. The 2019 biennial exhibition was installed at the beginning of August before the return of students and faculty. To offer our community insight into the work that goes into creating the work and organizing the sculpture biennial and to celebrate the sculpture garden’s contribution to our community, the DSU’s art department has curated an exhibition of sketches and models for the work in the biennial. A public opening reception will be held on August 22 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm in the Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery on DSU’s campus. Nan Sanders who is the driving force behind the Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden will briefly talk about the idea and the history of the project at the opening.
The idea for Delta State University’s Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden was conceived by Pam Mathews, an artist and then Delta State University’s First Lady. She envisioned a biennial sculpture competition which would bring 10 new pieces to campus every other year. At the end of the two-year period, one of the works would be purchased to become a permanent feature on the DSU campus. Her dream was to set up a way of developing a noteworthy collection of public art that would make the campus of Delta State unique. Mrs. Mathews contacted her friend and fellow artist, Nan Sanders, to discuss her idea for a sculpture garden at DSU and in 2000 the first sculpture biennial took place on our campus.
Sadly, Mrs. Mathews passed away in 2002 shortly after the second sculpture biennial took place. Since then, her friend Nan Sanders has worked tirelessly to realize Pam’s vision. Due to Mrs. Sander’s efforts and the generosity of many people throughout the years, Delta State now has a permanent collection which numbers 30 pieces. Pieces from the permanent collection have been installed throughout campus while the current competition pieces can be found in the formal garden in front of the BPAC. With the opening of the GRAMMY® Museum Mississippi in 2016, the Sculpture Garden has expanded its footprint to the grounds of the museum which features sculpture that has musical themes or references. Since 2017, part of the sculpture biennial exhibition has been installed on the green in downtown Cleveland.
In 2018, the Sculpture Garden was re-named Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden to pay homage to Pam Mathews, whose vision created the garden, and to Nan Sanders, whose family has supported the development of her vision after Pam’s untimely death.
For more information on the Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden visit http://thesculpturegardenms.com/. The exhibition at the Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery will be on view until September 26. 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. For further information visit the DSU Art Department’s website at https://www.deltastate.edu/college-of-arts-and-sciences/art/ or contact 662.846.4720.
