Jennifer Seo: Paperworks Exhibition
2023-08-24 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION JENNIFER SEO: PAPERWORKS
Delta State University’s Art Gallery opens its 2023-2024 season with an exhibition of delicate paper sculptures by Jennifer Seo. The department invites the campus and the community to an opening reception on August 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Jennifer Seo painstakingly recreates everyday objects such as teacups, bowls, tables, flatware, eyeglasses, cross necklaces, and embroidered handkerchiefs she discovers in old family photographs as ghostly paper constructions. The artist says that she remakes these “objects to better understand what we find important about them and why.” According to the artist, “objects go from being simply a thing we interact with as utility to a thing that embodies a philosophy and culture.” For Seo who is of Korean descent and was born in Florida, the process of fashioning these paper sculptures is a way of connecting with her distant family and imagining their day-to-day lives. The fragile and abstract nature of these paper sculptures becomes a metaphor for her thought process, for the difference between her projections and actuality, between observation and perception.
Seo was born in Florida and grew up in Los Angeles. She received a BFA degree from Baylor University, then worked as assistant for the sculptor Karl Umlauf before earning an MFA degree from the University of Texas San Antonia. She currently is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Her work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions in the United States and South Korea.
Jennifer Seo: Paperworks will be on view in the gallery from August 24 to September 21, 2023. An opening reception at which light refreshments will be served will be held on August 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
The gallery is open 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 our website at https://www.deltastate.edu/art/wright-center-art-gallery/ or contact 662.846.4720.

The Commodores
2023-09-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
The Commodores aren’t just any group. They have staying power. Just like their hit song, “Brick House,” The Commodores have created a foundation that just won’t budge. After churning out hit after hit in the Motown Days, The Commodores still hadn’t achieved Grammy recognition. This wasn’t to be until 1986, without Lionel Richie, when The Commodores released “Night Shift.”
Unlike many other groups, The Commodores haven’t rested on their early hits. Quite the contrary, The Commodores have continued to put out quality work. With the creation of their new label, The Commodores released Commodores Hits Vol. I, Commodores Hits Vol. II, Commodores Christmas, and Commodores XX-No Tricks. The newest CD, “Commodores Live” was recorded during the group’s 1997 U.S. tour and released in December 1998 along with the TV special of the same name.
The successful Commodores of the present have not only produced six new albums, and embarked upon a world-wide tour, but have created their own record label, Commodores Records and Entertainment. Today The Commodores stand not only as talented and successful musicians, but as artists determined to continue their success into the future.

Air Supply
2023-09-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, the first day of rehearsals for “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney, Australia; they became instant friends with their common love for The Beatles and, of course, singing.
After the shows’ performances at 10:30, they would play pizza parlors, coffee bars and night clubs with just one guitar and two voices. They quickly gained a reputation for great harmonies and for original songs that Graham was constantly writing. They made a demo on a cassette of two songs, “Love and Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” and took it to every record company in Sydney. Everyone turned it down but one–CBS Records–who admired their unique style.
They made a single in one afternoon and it shot to number one on the national charts. Air Supply was born! That same year, they opened for Rod Stewart across Australia and then throughout the U.S. and Canada playing all of the famous huge venues before Rod would take the stage. They found new fans, but did not break the U.S. market.
Seven top-five singles later, Air Supply at that time had equaled The Beatle’s run of consecutive top five singles. The albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now and Forever, and The Greatest Hits sold in excess of 20 million copies. “Lost in Love” was named Song of the Year in 1980, and, with the other singles, sold more than 10 million copies.
The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply.
Air Supply celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2015 and continue to delight audiences all over the world.

Together, they enjoy a journey through the Universe to discover what exoplanets are and how they can be detected. They observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds and super-Earths. Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters, who observe the sky in search of planets like Earth. Many adventures are yet to come. But first, she needs some rest. Celeste drops off to sleep waiting for the next visit of Moon.

Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters, who observe the sky in search of planets like Earth. Many adventures are yet to come. But first, she needs some rest. Celeste drops off to sleep waiting for the next visit of Moon.

Solar Superstorms + Solar Observing
2023-10-07 16:30 - 17:30 | Wiley Planetarium
Join us for a live star show where you will learn about the science of solar eclipses and how to safely view the upcoming partial solar eclipse on Saturday October 14. We will screen the planetarium film ‘Solar Superstorms’ and observe the Sun with a solar telescope following the show (if weather permits). Each ticket purchase comes with one pair of eclipse glasses.
Solar Superstorms: A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star. Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections. The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Pablo Cruise
2023-11-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Grab tickets today at 662-846-4626 or by visiting https://bolognapac.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket#/events/a0S8Z00000Gui6lUAB
Amazing harmony vocals combined with consummate musicians, accompanied by fun yet elegant, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on the record is one thing, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event! In 1975, Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and it featured a huge gorilla standing front and center. The band, David Jenkins (guitars, vocals), Cory Lerios (keyboards, vocals), Bud Cockerel (bass, vocals) and Steve Price (drums, percussion) were nowhere in sight. At that point there was a bit of a mystique surrounding Pablo Cruise, and when asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this: “Pablo”, represents an honest, real, down to earth individual, and “Cruise” depicts his fun loving, easy going attitude towards life: In essence that’s what Pablo Cruise music is all about.
From 1975 to 1985 the band toured the United States, Canada and Japan extensively, welcoming fans to “Climb Aboard The Good Ship Pablo Cruise.” Reaching the top 10 with mega hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye?” and “Love Will Find A Way,” and several other top 20’s, the band went on to sell several million albums and singles collectively and established themselves as well respected writers and performers within the industry. They appeared on numerous TV shows, including Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, The Merv Griffin Show, The Dinah Shore Hour and in 1979 they broke Elvis Presley’s attendance record at the Sahara Tahoe in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, becoming the first rock band to play a casino showroom. They also became the first rock band to grace the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, but by 1985 after completing several national tours and releasing 7 studio albums in all, the band decided to take a hiatus……one that lasted nearly 20 years.
Fast forward 20 years–in 2005 a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up where they left off and today the band performs all over the U.S. and Canada and they’re enjoying it more than ever. Since getting back together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD all through Sony Music documenting their exceptional live shows. “One of the great things about playing shows after all these years is that the core band, David, Steve and myself are still here and lovin’ it,” says Cory! “Going out and playing shows these days gives us the opportunity to not only pay tribute to our timeless repertoire, it gives us a chance to see old friends and fans from back in the day as well as gaining a whole new audience!” Today Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before and with the addition of Larry Antonino and Robbie Wyckoff, the band has never sounded better.

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S GALLERY PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION WILLIAM RULLER: ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR
2023-11-03 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S GALLERY PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION WILLIAM RULLER: ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR
Delta State University’s Art Department invites the public to the opening of its new exhibition William Ruller: All That is Solid Melts into Air. Ruller who was born in Gloversville, NY explains that “the abandoned mills and tanneries of my youth and the dilapidated areas of metropolitan and rural sites, with its rust grey tones inform the visual and aesthetic language present in my work. These residual sites serve as the foundation for the work, which allows for a reinterpretation of the space into abstracted images.”
Ruller received a B.A. in painting and ceramics from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh in 2007. Following his undergraduate degree, Ruller moved to Oregon where he worked as a production potter and ceramics instructor. In 2014 he received is MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Ruller has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States in numerous group and solo exhibitions. His paintings have been featured in Friend of the Artist, Whitewall Magazine, New American Paintings, and Studio Visit Magazine Issues. His work is in private and public collections such as Hyatt Hotel Corporation, Savannah College of Art and Design, and Museo Riso.
William Ruller: All that is Solid Melts into Air will be on view in the gallery from November 2 to December 7. A reception at which light refreshments will be served will be held on November 2 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm to mark the opening of the exhibition. A presentation by the artist via Zoom is scheduled for 4:00 pm that day. The public may join the presentation via Zoom or view it in the gallery surrounded by his work.
The gallery is open 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.

To the world, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius, unparalleled success, and unassailable character. To Sharon, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.
Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information about Southern Circuit please visit www.southarts.org/southerncircuit. To learn more about the screening, visit bolognapac.com.

Based upon the famous classic by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol is a heartwarming story of the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge from a greedy, heartless miser to a generous, loving man. When the play opens, Scrooge is in his counting house in London. He is a “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!” Three ghostly visits – from the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future – leave an indelible impression on Ebenezer.
Filled with love and the true spirit of the Christmas season, he begins to change his selfish ways and open his heart to those around him. Students will delight in this classic tale of Scrooge, the ghosts, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim. Virginia Repertory Theatre brings all the characters to life on stage in this lively and heartwarming musical performance. Watch Mr. Scrooge have a change of heart from stone to gold as he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas. All the joy, sentiment and meaning are here, without being too scary for young audiences.

Planned Giving Seminar
2023-11-30 17:30 - 20:00 | Hugh Ellis Foundation Alumni House
Delta State University Host “Planned Giving” Seminar November 30
David Gladden, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Vice President for Advancement, at Delta State University (DSU), announced the University will host a “planned giving” seminar. The seminar will explore ways to make planned gifts to the University through the Quadrangle Society. Scheduled for November 30 5:30 pm at the Hugh Ellis Walker Alumni House on the DSU campus, the seminar will provide information by community experts on developing planned charitable strategies. The seminar is free to the public.
The Quadrangle Oak Society was established to recognize alumni and friends of the University who have either funded or planned a deferred gift, such as a bequest or a life income plan. Many people believe the planned giving is only for the very rich. “It doesn’t have to be a large amount and our donations help students who might otherwise be unable to have a college education,” said Vicki Fioranelli, Quadrangle Oak Society member.” “Many of us may not be able to be large donors during our life time but why not designate a portion of our wealth after our death?”. She added, “I encourage others to join me.”
Delta State University is promoting the Quadrangle Oak Society as part of its Centennial Campaign. We are asking for those who are interested in supporting the society to become engaged by being advocates for the Quadrangle Oak Society, by providing contacts of those who can support the campaign or by contributing financially.

EVAC - Experiencing Veterans & Artists Collaboration Exhibition at Fielding Wright Art Center
2024-01-22 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
EVAC is an art project that has brought together veterans and artists who created visuals to illustrate the veterans’ struggles with posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental health struggles caused by their combat experiences. According to the project organizers “mental health providers are losing the battle with helping veterans in part because veterans feel iso¬lated and don’t want to ask for help. Veterans commit suicide at a rate of 20 per day. Deployed veterans who served from 2001-2007 had 41% higher suicide rate than the general population. Studies show veterans who share their stories may help with PTSD recovery.” At the same time, the project seeks to create a bridge between military and civilian life to promote a better understanding of the long-term effects of exposure to combat.
For this project, the organizers interviewed veterans from all branches of the military and with a service history that dates from WWII to more recent conflicts such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan. The organizes then matched the veterans with artists who created a limited edition of prints that interpret the veterans’ experiences. The prints will be displayed side-by-side with excerpts from the interviews which will provide a context for the images and insight into the veteran’s experiences.
By providing a glimpse into veterans’ personal experiences, EVAC creates an environment for viewers that invites understanding and engagement. According to the organizers, “Art offers a unique opportunity to foster em¬pathy, as it uses the senses to suggest feelings, stretches the imagination and invites understanding. Empathy is critical to fostering a so¬ciety that places value on human dignity for all.”
EVAC – Experiencing Veterans & Artists Collaboration will be on view in the gallery from January 18 to February 15, 2024. An opening reception at which light refreshments will be served will be held on January 25 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. This project is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency.
The gallery is open 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 our website at https://www.deltastate.edu/art/wright-center-art-gallery/ or contact 662.846.4720.

Lunch & Learn/Networking Session with Institute for Prenatal Quality Improvement
2024-02-08 | Broom Hall, Baioni Center
David K. Jones, PhD: Ripples of Hope: Charting the Health Equity Policy Agenda
Co-editors Debra Bingham, DrPH, RN, FAAN; Nicole Huberfeld, JD; and Sarah Gordon, PhD, MS
Eating well is challenging when few grocery stores are nearby, fresh foods are not affordable, and time to prepare wholesome foods is limited. An active lifestyle is nearly impossible when parks are not nearby, sidewalks do not connect, and safety is an overriding issue. Generational wealth cannot be built when well-paying jobs are scarce, banks do not give mortgage loans, and available housing is low-quality and unsafe. A great education is a path to a better life but hard to obtain if too few teachers, inadequate resources, and improper and disproportionate discipline are the norm. Access to necessary medical care is limited when primary care providers are scarce, each visit to a specialist requires three hours of
driving, and high deductibles and other out of pocket costs consume a large share of annual income.The extremes of the Mississippi Delta illustrate the complex relationships between class, race, and health that make achieving health equity across the entire U.S. so difficult. Using qualitative methods, including on-the-ground interviews with local residents, advocates, and officials, as well as interdisciplinary research, this book explores health in the Mississippi Delta to better understand health policy goals for the entire nation. Each of the five major chapters starts with a reflection from Robert F. Kennedy’s trip to the Delta in 1967. The chapters discuss the major barriers to health in five key domains: food, neighborhoods, jobs, education, and health care. Each chapter includes “Ripples of Hope,” highlighting how local groups and individuals are working to overcome barriers to health, as well as highlights root causes that must be addressed. The chapters end with principles and goals that should guide national and state policy action, which are deliberately broad so as to be applicable in a variety of settings.
Students will be invited to a lunch and learn on February 8, with a community networking opportunity on February. 9.

Butterfly in the Sky
2024-02-13 18:00 - 19:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
BUTTERFLY IN THE SKY is a free documentary screening in the BPAC Recital Hall as part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. All screenings begin at 6:00pm.
BUTTERFLY IN THE SKY tells the story of the beloved PBS children’s series “Reading Rainbow,” its iconic host LeVar Burton, and the challenges its creators faced in cultivating a love of reading through television. Two seconds into the bubbling synth sounds of its theme song will have a child of the 1980s or ‘90s exclaiming “Reading Rainbow!” Such is the beloved nature of the classic children’s literary television show that introduced millions of kids to the wonder of books.
Not only did the series insist on having kids speak to kids about their favorite stories, Reading Rainbow introduced the world to one of the most adored television hosts of all time, LeVar Burton. Thanks to his direct, non-patronizing and, most importantly, kind delivery, Burton became a conduit to learning for children of every background – delving behind the pages to the people, places, and things each new story explored.
Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information about the Southern Circuit, please visit www.southarts.org/southerncircuit.

KC and the Sunshine Band formed in 1973 with one single purpose: to create instant happiness through music – and the group has done just that, topping the charts with singles including “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Get Down Tonight,” and “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty,” tallying worldwide sales of over 100 million and receiving numerous awards. In 2013, KC was honored with two distinct Lifetime Achievement Awards, made several television appearances and earned a new start on the Palm Springs Walk of Fame in his home state of Florida, which accompanies his previously awarded national recognition of a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. KC and the Sunshine Band continue to tour heavily throughout the U.S. and internationally, as well as collaborate and appear with other superstars.

DSU's Annual Juried Student Exhibition
2024-03-14 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY ART DEPARTMENT’S 2024 ANNUAL JURIED STUDENT EXHIBITION
DSU’s Art Department will showcase its Annual Juried Student Exhibition from March 7 to April 18. This highly anticipated event allows the art department to highlight the work our students have produced over the past year. The exhibition also allows students to gain professional experience by preparing work for exhibitions and submitting it to a jury process. Students submitting work are also eligible to win monetary awards in various categories. The awards are made possible through the generous support of art patrons from the Cleveland community.
This year’s opening reception also marks the completion of an extensive renovation of the Fielding Wright Art Center funded by a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission.
This year’s juror is Susan Maakestad. Maakestad is a Professor Emeritus of the Memphis College of Art where she taught from 1997-2020. She now works as an independent artist in the Memphis area. Her work is in public collections including the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and the City of Memphis. She recently completed a large glass installation for the Memphis International Airport.
As every year, the Annual Juried Student Exhibition will also feature a Salon des Refusés in the Holcomb-Norwood Annex which will display a selection of artwork that did not make it into the main event. The Salon des Refusés is inspired by a similar salon held in 1863 which featured work rejected by the academic selection committee. Yet, some of these artists would go on to change the history of art.
We want to express our gratitude to the Mississippi Arts Commission for awarding us a grant to renovate our gallery as well as to the following sponsors for supporting our students and the department through the donation of awards: Dave Alford and Adventure Frames, Maureen and Bucky Brooks, Cleveland State Bank, Betty Anne and Travis Cooper, Catherine and Ron Koehler, Bill Lester, Carmen and Cetin Oguz, Lisa Percy, Planter’s Bank & Trust, Carol Tatum, as well as Dr. Ellen Green, DSU’s Dean of the College of Arts and Science, President Dr. Ennis, and the President’s Cabinet.
Please join us in celebrating our students’ success on Thursday, March 7, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Awards will be presented at 6:00 p.m. The Annual Juried Student Exhibition will remain on view from March 7 to April 18. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. For more information, please contact the Art Department at 662-846-4720.

They Call Me Q!
2024-03-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Jobe Auditorium
Proclaimed “A Theatrical Force” by the Orlando Weekly for her uncanny embodiment of 13 characters, Qurrat Ann Kadwani searches for identity in her autobiographical one-woman show. THEY CALL ME Q is the story of a girl from Bombay growing up in the Boogie Down Bronx who gracefully seeks balance between cultural pressure and acceptance into the American culture. Along the journey, Qurrat Ann Kadwani transforms into 13 characters that have shaped her life including her Indian parents, Caucasian teachers, Puerto Rican classmates, Indian and African-American friends. Broadway World DC states Ms. Kadwani has “an undeniable talent for accents and gives the audience a theatrical experience that it will remember far after the show.” Laden with heart and abundant humor, a coming of age tale that the Montreal Gazette says is “witty, polished, inspiring,” THEY CALL ME Q gives voice to all the universal struggles for identity and self-understanding that are experienced by immigrants of all nationalities.

An Evening with Travis Tritt
2024-03-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Thirty years after Travis Tritt launched his music career, the Southern rock-influenced artist continues to sell-out shows and stay true and relevant to country music fans across the globe. Continuously performing shows and withholding a heavy appearance schedule, Tritt is proving to be unstoppable.
The highly abbreviated Tritt timeline started when the young Marietta, Georgia native incorporated his lifelong influences of Southern rock, blues and gospel into his country during a honky-tonk apprenticeship that led him to Warner Bros. in 1989. Over the course of a decade, Travis released seven studio albums and a greatest hits package for the label. His 1990 debut Country Club and its succession of hits put him in the vanguard of the genre’s early ’90s boom, dubbing him as one of “The Class of ’89,” which included country music superstars Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson; all whom dominated the charts in the early ’90s.
In 2021, Tritt released a new album with award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, The Highwomen, Sturgill Simpson) through Big Noise Music Group. The album marked Tritt’s first original album release in over thirteen years.

Hollow Tree
2024-04-16 18:00 - 19:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
HOLLOW TREE is a free documentary screening in the BPAC Recital Hall as part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. All screenings begin at 6:00pm. Hollow Tree follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeland of Louisiana. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and billowing smokestacks. Their different perspectives — as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women — shape their story of the climate crisis.
Director’s Statement: This film invites three young women, who did not previously know each other, to learn with me and my filmmaking team, and their respective communities. They travel to different sites along the Mississippi River, where they engage in dialogue with engineers, activists, and Indigenous leaders. The idea was to use filmmaking as a classroom, and to develop a documentary practice for the climate crisis. As I encourage the young people in my film to notice their surroundings, they begin to imagine Louisiana’s past — its history of slavery, Indigenous dispossession, and colonization — and, by extension, Louisiana’s future. The one that they will experience and help to shape.
Find more information about the film at https://hollowtreefilm.com/
Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information about the Southern Circuit, please visit www.southarts.org/southerncircuit.

What exactly is CORE Arts?
CORE Arts is a two-week-long, intensive summer arts program where emerging artists can realize their dreams, unleash their imagination, and discover and explore their talents while choosing to stay on DSU’s campus or attend as a day-camper.
Who’s it for?
Ages 11-18 (rising 7th graders – graduating high school seniors).
What am I getting out of it?
Each day, campers will receive wide-ranging and intensive instruction from experienced teaching artists in a variety of art forms, including dance, literary arts, music, theatre, and visual arts. Campers customize their schedule by choosing their own course of study in a five-period-per-day format. Courses offer a tremendous opportunity for individual instruction, with a teacher-student ratio of approximately 1:12. Core Arts promotes the creative abilities of young artists who wish to cultivate and enjoy their artistry.
What will I do there?
Campers fill out surveys so that we know what types of courses to schedule for upcoming summers, but we also take into account that new and emerging artistic disciplines like comic book drawing and digital arts are especially popular with our young artists. Courses we have held in the past include dramatic improvisation, scene and character study, musical theatre, hip-hop dance, introduction to Photoshop, mixed-media portraiture, painting with found materials, web-series development, and many more! Students will also partake in evening and weekend activities, which have previously included trips to Memphis to see Broadway performances in Memphis, professional baseball games in Jackson and Memphis, guided canoe trips along the Mississippi River, artist-led tours of Peters Pottery and McCarty Pottery Studios, and a private tour of the Grammy MS Museum with Karaoke.

Cost: $1050, an all-inclusive fee that provides all art supplies, field trips, and tickets for activities over the weekend, admission to GRAMMYMS Museum, breakfast, and lunch daily, an MSAI t-shirt, water bottle, and backpack.

Campers will stay on Delta State’s campus in the dorms in the residential option. Students will be dropped off on Sunday, June 16, and stay in our residence halls through the final day of camp, Friday, June 28, 2023.
In most cases, campers share a room with another camper. If you would like to discuss a single room, please contact Holly at 662-846-4844 or email hsenter@deltastate.edu. The residence halls are single-sex and secure, with BPAC providing a head counselor and the Resident Assistant who works for DSU’s Housing Department.
Cost: $1400, an all-inclusive fee that provides housing for two weeks, three meals a day, all art supplies, admission, and tickets for all weekend activities and field trips, breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the DSU Cafeteria for the duration of their stay, an MSAI t-shirt, water bottle, and backpack
Tuition and Fees

Delta State will host a Japanese Film Week with the screenings of the films “Samurai Cat” and “Bento Harassment.” DSU was selected as one of 18 host sites around the country for the two films. “Samurai Cat” (2014) Summary: A charming and hilarious comedy directed by Yoshitaka Yamaguchi, former assistant director to Takashi Miike. A once-feared swordsman, Kyutaro Madarame finds himself a penniless and masterless samurai in old Edo (Tokyo), Japan. Desperate for money, he accepts an assassination contract from a local gang. The target: a rival boss’ beloved white cat, Tamanojo. However, when Kyutaro lays his eyes on Tamanojo, his heart melts and he is unable to carry out the deed. Instead, he escapes with the cat, invoking the rage of both gangs who now seek to exact their revenge.
Before Kyutaro can live his life in peace as a newly-converted “cat person,” he must face both clans in a final showdown.” “Bento Harassment” (2019) Summary: “Based on a true story, this is a comedic, heartwarming film about the love between a mother and daughter told with much laughter and many tears. Futaba is going through a teenage rebellious phase and refuses to speak to her single mother Kaori. Kaori retaliates with “bento harassment” – sending Futaba to school each day with an elaborate home-made box lunch incorporating messages of love and encouragement. Over the next 3 years, Futaba overcomes her initial embarrassment and comes to appreciate these expressions of the undying support of her mother.”
Appropriate for ages 10+. Japanese with English subtitles. These events are free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the International Student Services office and the Japan Foundation New York.
