In partnership with the University of Mississippi School of Education:

MORNINGS IN THE MUSEUM: Spring 2024

Adults and their children are invited to these free drop-in morning workshops that allow us to connect through stories, music, art, and sensory play! Each month, the Museum along with students from the UM School of Education will lead various activities for children ages 1-8 years of age.

Gathering

Works by Earl Dismuke

OCTOBER 11, 2022 – APRIL 8, 2023

Circular sculpture in black on a white background

Toro (Uncle Bull), 2022

Earl Dismuke, a Mississippi native, is an abstract expressionist sculptor who gathers and assembles discarded material, mostly metal. Like a Rorschach test for the viewer, his resulting sculptures may evoke playful nostalgia, while others are slightly unsettling and prickly. This is Earl Dismuke’s first solo museum exhibit. 

Though the exhibit has ended, you can still view Gathering in our online exhibitions.
