On January 28, USM Gulf Park will kick-off the series by hosting a pop-up art exhibition featuring two women artists from the Mississippi Gulf Coast community: Julia Reyes, a local multimedia artist and co-owner of Almost Circle gallery in Biloxi, and Paulette Dove, local artist and former art teacher at Biloxi High School. Critically, this exhibition event will open with a humanistic talk for the general public by USM Art Professor Jennifer Torres. The general scope of Torres’ talk, which may make direct reference to some of the works on display in the exhibition, will be the relationship between artistic representation and the treatment/expectations of women in society.
