Pomegranate by Susie Ranager

It is hot. The fact is inescapable. But here at the Attic Gallery we are planning a Summer Escape. We have asked several of our artists to help us by doing what they do best: making art. They are embracing the idea of helping us forget the heat with their creations. Also, in consideration of other realities of the season, the prices of the work will be friendly.


Come see new work by


Jean Blue of Vicksburg,
James Smithhart of Vicksburg,
Earl Simmons of Bovina,
Lesley Silver of Vicksburg,
Ellen Langford of Jackson,
Elayne Goodman of Columbus,
Jamie Tate of Greenville,
Kathy Gergo of Vicksburg,
Susie Ranager of Ocean Springs,
Patt Odom of Ocean Springs,
Mary Hardy of Ocean Springs,
Ron Koehler of Cleveland, Mississippi
Hannah Cohen’s Red Beans & Nice of New Orleans


The Gallery is going through a major transition now, and we wanted to bring you all along. The show will be hung on the third floor as usual; but expect to see big changes in progress as we are transforming the space into our home.


Join us in our Summer Escape: great new art, good food, cold drinks, and a chance to visit with the artists and more…


A Summer Escape opens at the Attic Gallery in downtown Vicksburg Friday, August 7, from 7 PM until 9 PM. The public is invited and there is no admission fee.

  50th Anniversary Artist Gallery #1 Dale Rayburn & Mamie Joe   Autumn Memories - Dale Rayburn Monotype on paper 18" x 18" $750 Autumn Memories by Dale Rayburn "Throughout my career, I have had a propensity toward painting older people. They tend to show life experiences on their faces and they have great stories to tell, as well. As I have grown older myself, I have painted several self-portraits. This piece was inspired by the fact that I am so grateful for being able to do what I love. Making art as your vocation, in my opinion, has to be one of the most rewarding endeavors anyone could possibly wish for."     Show of Grace - Mamie Joe Acrylic on paper 15" x 15" $550  SHOW OF GRACE mixed media on paper by Mamie Joe "My 103 year old mother fell three times several months ago, and by some miracle, she did not break any bones.

Paul Fayard gave me the small turquoise pitcher and LaRita Smith gave me the seashell. The almost petrified wild orange is from my tree. I had the Italian artist Morandi in mind as I painted this one.   Lesley remembers: With many of our artists comes a new story and a new learning about art for me. My perceptions exploded when I got to know Ron because of his approach to art and his vision. His paintings of Vicksburg houses and scenes and his still lifes turned the subjects into textures, into shapes and into colors. When I would look into his work, the surface would reveal layer after layer. Where you might expect one color, there were many, all with something to say. Ron also contributed to my art education by sharing some of his influences with me, including Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, and Rufino Tamayo. I always enjoyed visit
