SUMMARY:DSU's Annual Juried Student Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY ART DEPARTMENT’S 2024 ANNUAL JURIED STUDENT EXHIBITION \nDSU’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. \nThis 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. \nThis 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. \nAs 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. \nWe 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. \nPlease 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.

SUMMARY:EVAC - Experiencing Veterans & Artists Collaboration Exhibition at Fielding Wright Art Center
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFor 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. \nBy 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.” \nEVAC – 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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Seo: Paperworks Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION JENNIFER SEO: PAPERWORKS \nDelta 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. \nJennifer 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. \nSeo 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. \nJennifer 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. \nThe 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.
