Staff assistant William Griffin completes preparations at the McComas Hall Gallery for Thursday's 5:30-7:30 p.m. public reception formally opening an exhibition of works by the late Gulf Coast artist Walter Anderson. Hurricane Katrina's destruction of the Anderson family compound in Ocean Springs makes the campus showing through Oct. 28 even more special. Donations will be accepted for support of state art restoration efforts. Visit http://www.msmf.org/ for details.
