Reception for "Here and Beyond: Outsider Art from the Mississippi Museum of Art"

Join the College of Architecture, Art and Design's art department for a reception celebrating the “Here and Beyond: Outsider Art from the Mississippi Museum of Art” exhibit on display through Oct. 2 in the McComas Art Gallery. The exhibit features 16 varied pieces ranging from visions of space ships to rural landscape memory paintings to observations of New Orleans street life. Among them is a print made from an original painting by Denver Moore (1937-2012). Titled “We Are All Homeless Just Working Our Way Home,” it shares its name with the last line of Mississippi State’s 2015 Maroon Edition book selection, “Same Kind of Different as Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together.” In addition to the Jackson museum and its Traveling Exhibition Endowment, the campus exhibit is supported by MSU’s art department and Maroon Edition freshman common reading program. Exhibit hours for the McComas Art Gallery are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday, as well as by appointment.
