Author Eudora Welty will be celebrated through exhibits and events for the next 12 weeks. Classical Mississippi is the theme of the Welty Biennial.
Various forms of artwork are on display at the Mississippi Museum of Art in downtown Jackson, including photography, quilt work and constellation sculptures. All are meant to celebrate Welty as a visionary.
The curator is David Kaplan of New York. He has been a Welty scholar for years. He is hoping folks from all over will take a journey through the artwork on display.
"Conditions in Mississippi can create art at the level of art anywhere," said Kaplan. "And that it's not an accident these things were here. And that if you want to further understand them, you should come here."
The Welty Biennial started April tenth and will run through July third. Other events will include a Symphony Orchestra performance and a documentary film.
