Spring 2017, the University of Mississippi Museum was added as a featured point along the Yokna Sculpture Trail. The first outdoor sculpture program of its kind in North Mississippi features a rotating exhibit of 18 large-scale sculptures by locally, regionally and nationally renowned exhibiting artists. The trail is a collaboration between the City of Oxford, The University of Mississippi, and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council.
Meet Sculptor Jeffie Brewer from Nacogdoches, Texas
We are given a brief amount of time together. As an artist, I consider it a gift to be able to share my vision and experience. Sometimes it’s serious, sometimes it’s thoughtful and a lot of the time it’s just silly. The shared experience of existing, living, loving, thinking… seeing beauty, knowing fear, feeling passion, and just being is further magnified through art – creating, discussing, collaborating, learning and teaching. I have been privileged to have great mentors, teachers and friends; to continue to share this with a new generation of artists, students and viewers is fantastic.[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”12″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”0″ thumbnail_width=”100″ thumbnail_height=”75″ thumbnail_crop=”1″ images_per_page=”20″ number_of_columns=”0″ ajax_pagination=”0″ show_all_in_lightbox=”0″ use_imagebrowser_effect=”0″ show_slideshow_link=”1″ slideshow_link_text=”[Show as slideshow]” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]
