Its purpose is to advance the better interests of the social fraternities at Delta State in connection with the general welfare of the student body and the university as a whole. The primary goal of IFC is to promote and portray the values of every chapters’ foundation and to promote excellent interfraternal spirit and support.
Here at Delta State, we have five established fraternities on the Interfraternity Council (IFC) which participate in Formal Recruitment and three National Pan-Hellenic Conference (NPHC) fraternities which also conduct the Membership Recruitment activities during the school year. Each one of these fraternities is unique in its own way and has much to offer you.
We encourage you to attend IFC Formal Recruitment with an open mind, get acquainted with the fraternity men, and decide for yourself which group is the best for you.

The Time Jumpers ft. Vince Gill, Kenny Sears & Ranger Doug Green
2015-09-17 19:30 - 21:30 | BPAC
Tap any member of multi Grammy nominated The Time Jumpers on the shoulder and the face that turns to greet you will be that of one who’s made major contributions to the richness and vigor of country music. The Time Jumpers was established in Nashville in 1998 by an assemblage of high-dollar studio musicians who wanted to spend some spare time jamming with their sonically gifted buddies. The notion of building a rabidly devoted following was the last thing on their minds. But that’s what happened… Locally sponsored by Bolivar Medical Center.

Opening Reception: DSU's Art Department Annual Faculty Exhibition
2015-10-01 17:00 - 19:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DSU ANNUAL FACULTY EXHIBITION
FIELDING WRIGHT ART CENTER
OPENING RECEPTION, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 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. The exhibition opens with a public reception on Thursday, October 1, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
The work of DSU’s art faculty presents great diversity in subject, approach and media. The exhibition will feature work in ceramics, furniture design, graphic design, painting, photography, sculpture, textile, and video.
Amy Cannestra, who joined DSU this fall, is a graphic designer and multi-media artist. Cannestra creates video and sculptural installations intended to submerge viewers in unexpected, sometimes uncomfortable, situations.
Ron Koehler, chair of the art department, creates wood sculpture which presents a social commentary on present day issues. The seriousness of the issues addressed notwithstanding, Koehler frequently takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to the subject. Included in this year’s faculty exhibition will be his Atomic Coffee with Donut Mushroom Cloud which refers to the current situation in Iran, while his Mr. Birdman has a Heart comments on altruism.
Professor Emeritus Pat Brown, who retired last year, is returning this year with large mixed media drawings, sculptural and textile work. Brown continues to explore the psychological associations evoked by objects and materials found in the natural world in work that combines diverse materials and forms.
Natalie Carroll, a graphic designer, critically responds to our culture’s inundation with media images. As Carroll puts it: “In a selfie-obssessed, hypersensitive time, we all begin to question our position, contributions, and messages.” The work she will show consists of a series of collage posters that explore pop culture ideas and themes and present them in a manner that allows the viewer to examine their own existence amongst all of this excessive stimulation of messages and ideals.
Will Jacks, an adjunct instructor and photographer, will present a new project in which he explores the relationship between photographic images and memory. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, one of the inventors of photography had called his invention “the mirror with a memory,” and photography has come to play a central role in creating public and private records of our past. Jacks asks: “What would happen if we didn’t have triggers to remind us of our past? What if there were no photos, no heirlooms, no memorabilia? And if we do have those objects, do they change our memory or does our memory change them? “
Ky Johnston, a ceramic artist, tries to work in a way that shows respect for his materials. The artist explains that in his pottery functional considerations take a priority, yet within that framework he explores surfaces made possible by cutting and stretching clay and forms produced by altering round pots. In recent years, he has been incorporating imagery that in the past would have belonged in paintings or prints into his pottery.
Michaela Merryday produces wall pieces and jewelry from felt. Her choice of medium is the result of her interest in sustainability – felt has a low environmental impact and is recyclable. The forms of her work are inspired by minimalist designs – from the pared-down furniture of the Bauhaus to Donald Judd’s aluminum boxes. By translating their forms and textures into soft organic materials that invite touch she attempts to humanize minimalism.
Jon Mark Nail, a film maker, whose work explores Mississippi, its culture and its mythos. The artist asserts that as a native son of Mississippi he is drawn to, what he treasures, and what he finds completely inescapable, is Mississippi itself. In particular, he is fascinated by what he calls Mississippi’s idiosyncrasy. 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.” Yet, “that is what, thematically, I am drawn to as an artist, as a native son. Hope and despair. Great promise, and dreadful demise. Love and death and honor and collapse. These are the themes of the south. These are the themes of the native son.”
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, head of the photography section, will exhibit a new series of work created with the humblest of cameras, the phone camera.
Mollie Rushing is a textile artist creating colorful quilts with complex patterns. Rushing explains that she is interested in the spaces that she encounters and that her work explores spatial relationships through the juxtapositioning of color, texture and patterns.
Michael Stanley is a sculptor who recently was selected as one of the artists to be featured at the new Grammy Museum in Cleveland. Stanley favors art that is interactive and creates a sense of community which led him from sculpture to furniture design. Stanley often integrates playful incongruities into his work it more accessible and encourage participation. Stanley’s aesthetic comes from ”industrial memories of my childhood and travels: areas where the natural world and urban development meet, such as a bridge crossing the muddy waters of the Missouri River or the unseen beauty of overgrown abandoned brick warehouses. The combination of human innovation with the unrelenting forces of nature has always captivated me, and I often incorporate that look of strength amidst decay in my artwork.”
DSU’s Annual Faculty Exhibition will be on view until October 29. 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.

Captain Robert Wells presents "Voices from the Bottom of the South China Sea"
2015-10-01 18:00 - 20:00 | Capps, Seminar Room
The Archives will kick off National Archives Month with a lecture delivered by Captain Robert Wells on his recent publication, “Voices from the Bottom of the South China Sea” on Thursday evening, 1 October at 6:00pm in the Charles W. Capps, Jr. Archives & Museum building’s Howorth Seminar Room. The event is free and open to the public.
Voices from the Bottom of the South China Sea is the remarkable, untold illustration of the bonds between Americans and Chinese, brought to life in the true story of a deadly 1874 shipwreck off Southern China that killed hundreds and scattered treasure in the South China Sea. This amazing history involves a shipwreck, pirates, and lost treasure. But most of all, Voices captures the shared passions, ambitions, and animosities of Chinese and Americans seeking fortune in nineteenth century California. With the lost records of the event recently discovered and pieced together by the author, a former navy captain who commanded a warship in the waters where Captain Warsaw’s ship went down, this book allows the lost voices to tell their story to the world from the bottom of the South China Sea.
Robert S. Wells is a retired from the U.S. Navy as a Captain with a distinguished 30-year naval service career which included command of the AEGIS cruiser USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN (CG-57) during Operation Enduring Freedom in the aftermath of 9-11, and the guided missile frigate USS LEWIS B. PULLER (FFG-23). He also served as the U.S. Naval Academy’s Director of Professional Development in Annapolis, Maryland. During his career, Captain Wells was awarded 20 service medals including two Defense Superior Service medals and two Legions of Merit. He also served in the Clinton and Bush (43) Administrations. His most recent White House experience included three years on Vice President Dick Cheney’s National Security Affairs staff as Special Advisor.
His keen interest in U.S.-China relations stems from service in U.S. Seventh Fleet operations in the South China Sea, as U.S. host ship during the historic Chinese People Liberation Army (PLA)-Navy visit to San Diego in March 1997 and the development of defense policy between the U.S. and China in support of the State visit of China’s President to the U.S. in September 2005.
Mr. Wells has written and spoken frequently about national security and foreign policy issues in national and local media.
He lives in Northern Virginia with his wife, Christine. This is his first book.

The B.F.G. (Big Friendly Giant)
2015-10-14 09:30 - 10:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center
In David Wood’s exciting dramatization of Roald Dahl’s award-winning story, a 15-foot-tall vegetarian giant with vocabulary problems teams up with a little orphan girl named Sophie. Together, Sophie and her new “jumbly” friend, the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) devise a plan to save the children of England from child-eating giants. Along the way, they are assisted by the Queen of England, the British Army, and the Royal Air Force. Humongous on humor and large laughs, the story of The BFG was Roald Dah’s personal favorite. On stage, his whizzcrackingly wacky tale comes to life with puppets and people creating a fantastical world of towering giants and magical adventures. Produced by Dallas Children’s Theatre.

National Home Movie Day
2015-10-17 10:00 - 12:00 | Capps Archives & Museum, Seminar Room
Home Movie Day, a celebration of amateur film started by a group of film archivists in 2002, occurs all over the world in mid-October. Like the celebration of a birthday, HMD is a very individualistic affair; each event is unique.
The public is invited to drop by their home movies to the DSU Archives during the week of October 12 – 16, 9am – 5pm. The film will be checked and reviewed for viability to run on prescribed equipment for the viewing party on Saturday, 17 October.
Even if you did not submit a home movie for the project, everyone is invited to attend the viewing party on Saturday, 17 October beginning at 10am in the Charles W. Capps, Jr. Archives & Museum building on campus.
The 1940’s Ruleville Beauty Review, scenes from Delta Council’s 1963 meeting at Delta State, downtown Shaw in the 1960’s and a Homecoming parade will be featured clips from the University Archives’ collections along with those brought in by the public.
While some may enjoy the entire program, please feel free to come and go as you need throughout the day.
We are excited to have Ashley Smith, PhD candidate from the Department of Media Studies at Stockholm University, on site to handle many of the film handling and viewing procedures. We are also looking for volunteers who may want to help out with the day’s activities. If you would like to volunteer an hour or two to support National Home Movie Day, please contact Emily Jones at ejones@deltastate.edu or by calling 662.846.4781.

When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone? Produced by Tall Stories Theatre Company. Sponsored by Monsanto.

What could be fancier than Christmas? Presents with elegant wrapping paper, festive decorations, Christmas cookies and sprinkles- and who could forget the tree? After all, there is no such thing as too much tinsel. Ooh la la! This year, Nancy is especially excited about decorating the Christmas tree. She bought a brand-new sparkly tree topper with her own money and has been waiting for Christmas to come. But when things don’t turn out the way Nancy planned, will Christmas still be splendiferous? In this merriest of stories from best-selling author and illustrat team Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser, Nancy proves once again that a little fancying up can go a long, festive way!

Opening of Candace Hick's Exhibition Napoleon's Wallpaper
2016-01-14 17:00 - 19:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center’s first exhibition of the year, Candace Hick’s installation Napoleon’s Wallpaper, opens season on Thursday, January 14
Candace Hicks is a printmaker and book artist based in Nacogdoches, TX. The exhibition Napoleon’s Wallpaper treats the gallery as a puzzle box to be solved by the viewer. A combination of prints that reveal secret messages when viewed through special colored glasses, kinetic sculptures that reveal clues, puzzles that can be manipulated physically to reveal hidden compartments, and wall texts that guide the viewer from one station to the next, the exhibition operates like a game. The artist is using her background as a book artist to produce an exhibition of objects that look like art, but are actually part of an interrelated narrative puzzle. Books take for granted that viewer participation is necessary to complete the work, and Napoleon’s Wallpaper combines a storybook, interactive puzzle, and art exhibit into a room-sized installation. The viewer experiences the immersive quality of reading a mystery novel and solving the clues.
The title, Napoleon’s Wallpaper, refers to an anecdote regarding the cause of Napoleon’s death. He supposedly died from exposure to arsenic in the dyes used to print his wallpaper. Hicks once read three accounts of this story in the same week, and felt like she was receiving a secret, albeit meaningless message from the universe. Napoleon’s Wallpaper is like a room-sized book. It tells a story, but it also presents a puzzle game that has to be solved by the visitor/reader. It includes many moving parts that invite interaction. It resurrects forms of spectacle from the past: optical illusions and early animation devices. These forms are employed holistically to present a cohesive story that can only be solved with viewer participation.
Hicks is an Assistant Professor Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas. Napoleon’s Wallpaper has recently been installed in Houston, TX. Hicks’ work has been shown in Rochester, N.Y.; Ashville, N.C.; Decatur, GA; Denver Colorado; New York, N.Y.; Moscow, Soviet Union; Vilnius, Lithuania; Budapest, Hungary; among other places.
Napoleon’s Wallpaper will run from January 14th to February 26th, 2016. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, January 14 from 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.

Annual Juried Student Exhibition and Silent Auction Opening Reception and Award Presentation
2016-03-17 17:00 - 19:00 | Wright Art Gallery
DSU’s Art Department invites the public to the opening of its Annual Juried Student Exhibition on Thursday, March 17, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The Annual Juried Student Exhibition allows the department to highlight the work our students have produced in the past year and affords students an opportunity to gain professional experience by preparing work for exhibition and submitting it to a jury process. Students submitting work are also eligible to win monetary awards in a variety of categories. The awards are made possible through the generous support of art patrons from the Cleveland community.
This year’s juror is Ashley Chavis, a ceramic artist and curator, who teaches at Northwest Mississippi Community College. Chavis also runs the college’s art gallery and is faculty advisor of the students’ art club, Les Fauves.
Chavis’s creative energies are devoted to producing functional pottery that has a unique sense of tactility and surface design. His work has been exhibited regionally and nationally and can be found at Southside Gallery in Oxford. He is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA), Southeastern College Art Conference (SECAC), Southern Graphics Council International (SGCI), and Sycamore Arts Council.
Professor Chavis commended the variety and quality of work submitted. The work he selected from the numerous submissions reflects the diversity of our students’ aesthetics and interests.
This year’s exhibition includes a silent auction of student and faculty work to benefit one of our students who lost the use of her legs when she became the victim of a car accident. The student has been an inspiration for all in the Art Department, she has never let her health issues limit her ambitions nor cloud her optimism and sunny disposition. The student is in need of a new wheelchair and her colleagues and faculty are hoping to raise $1000 through the sale of original works of art donated by them to help defray the costs of a new wheelchair. The silent auction will take place during the opening only, winning bids will be announced at the end of the day.
Please join us in celebrating our students’ success on Thursday, March 19, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Awards will be presented at 6:00 pm. The Annual Juried Student Exhibition will remain on view from March 17 to April 22, 2015.

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.

Fifty years later and based on Wright Thompson’s examination of those events, “Ghosts of Ole Miss” explores the intersection of one of the most significant moments in the Civil Rights movement with a team of young men caught in the middle of history.

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.

ELF The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF. The New York Times says that ELF is “SPLASHY, PEPPY, SUGAR-SPRINKLED HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT!” USA Today calls ELF, “ENDEARINGLY GOOFY!” Variety proclaims, “ELF is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!” Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).
