- "ArtShare - Three Artists"
- Sep 7 – Oct 3.
- This exhibit consists of 38 paintings by three young women who are members of the ArtShare program, started in September 2007 when two friends, Claire Myers and Hannah Southerland, got together on a Saturday and began painting. They were joined later by another friend, Katy Anderson. The group took its name from the LifeShare Foundation. With the help of Bob Crisler, the foundation provided some of the initial funding for supplies and offered the LifeShare House on the campus of the Mississippi School for the Deaf and Blind for them to use as an art studio. They have met once a month to paint ever since. The technique they use was developed by Tim Lefens of Princeton, NJ, specifically for persons who cannot use their own hands. Claire’s mother learned the technique at a workshop presented by Mr. Lefens at the T.K. Martin Center for Technology on the campus of Mississippi State University. The process uses a person called a "tracker" to be an extension of the artist. The artist instructs the tracker in every step of producing the work, including cutting the canvas to the desired size, what colors to use and how to mix them, which brushes and tools to use to apply the paint and many other tasks to achieve the final painting. All of the trackers have been volunteers, primarily the girl’s mothers. Most of their work to this point has been acrylic on canvas. The artists showcased in the exhibit are Claire Myers of Ridgeland, Hannah Southerland of Monticello and Katy Anderson of Greenville.
