On Saturday, September 29, the Lower Mississippi River Foundation will host an art exhibit and sale at Meraki Roasting Company in Clarksdale. The exhibit will feature art from Clarksdale youth related to the power of water. Art from the exhibit will be on sale. The exhibit and sale will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit Water/Ways, on display in Clarksdale through October 13.
