8 PLACE More than 150 pieces of acrylic in different shapes and colors will evoke the doodles Moseley made in school as she struggled to focus during class, and the colored filters that help her read. “I believe people with dyslexia will connect with the acrylic installation in perhaps a deeper way,” Moseley says. “For those who have it, I hope the exhibit offers a sense of being seen and understood.” Moseley attended Poplar Springs Elementary and Lamar School in Meridian. Defying expectations, she earned a bachelor’s from the University of Mississippi and a master’s from Louisiana State University, both in sculpture—and is among the 12% of U.S. welders who are women. Invite your friends for opening day, Saturday, August 23. Learn more about the exhibition from the artist during a guided tour at 3 pm. Meet the artist and mingle with friends during the reception featuring live jazz by Rodrick Fox and Friends from 4-6 pm. Check out other related events and programs at msarts.org/events. This exhibition and related programming are made possible by The Phil Hardin Foundation and The Riley Foundation with additional support from Meridian Specialty Travel (Lamar and Laura Gidden), Michelle Merson, Southeast Ace Hardware, The X, and Wells Fargo Advisors.
