Artist Residency
PSA-MS encourages artwork and curatorial or writing projects that create articulations about the Deep South, including Mississippi’s and Louisiana’s histories of conflict and adjustment between Old and New World societies and Europeans’ early relationship with the indigenous populations. Projects about the ongoing African-American struggle to achieve full participation in American society are especially welcome.
Activities are based in the residency facilities with excursions to regional cultural centers that may include Jackson, the state capital (Mississippi Museum of Art, the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion, the Old Capitol Museum, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History’s campus, the International Museum of Muslim Cultures), Biloxi (Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art campus, designed by Frank Gehry, and Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis’ home and presidential library), and Natchez (Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and the Natchez Trace Parkway).
Two-week residencies include two days in New Orleans with visits to Prospect New Orleans (when in session), the Contemporary Arts Center, the McKenna Museum of African American Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Louisiana State Museum, including the Cabildo and the Presbytère. A side trip to Baton Rouge includes a visit to the Capitol Park Museum, designed by New Orleans-based studio Eskew+Dumez+Ripple and completed in 2006.
Exhibitions
In Our Time is an expression that suggests a quality, the character of, or attitude about life in the here and now. In Our Time includes you–in a place, a town, a landscape, a nation, a culture, a people, and a greater society. In Our Time also evokes histories, experiences, perspectives, or stories that are shared or common between you and others. Art is the messenger that relates you to a community–actual and envisioned– through affirmation or critique of something, or invention. The destination is Summit, a growing arts community in rural southwest Mississippi, with a rich history and landscape that means many things to many people. This is what we ask you to think about. It’s also what makes the Pike School of Art—Mississippi open call exhibition different, experimental, and you-and-destination-specific.
Community Programs
PSA-MS has partnered with McComb School District and the City of McComb to provide FREE after-school art workshops for school-aged children at Martin Luther King Park. For more information, click here.
