Earl's Art Shop Destroyed by Fire (again)
Our dear friend, Earl Wayne Simmons, Bovina Mississippi folk artist, has suffered the loss of his home by fire a second time.
A web site has been created with information about Earl, his work, his Art Shop, the fire and more. Helpearlsimmons.org
And a Paypal link has been setup for contributions toward getting Earl new shelter.
Earl has lost all his possessions to this fire. Gift cards to places like Walmart, Kroger or other supermarkets, fast food places, Home Depot could be sent or brought to the Attic Gallery for us to get into his hands quickly.

For more than 34 years Lesley Silver's Attic Gallery has been hidden up a mysterious flight of stairs above the legendary Highway 61 in downtown Vicksburg, Mississippi. The brave souls who climb those stairs find a sensory overload. Art of every description covers the walls from the ceiling down, and crafts of all kinds spill across mismatched tables and onto the floor. Collectors and visitors wander the hall and explore the old high-ceilinged rooms of the gallery, threading their way through all the stuff, craning their necks, crawling on all fours, digging through piles of original prints and photos vainly trying to see it all. There's too much.
Just wander around and enjoy yourself. If we can help you, let us know. To contact us about any of the work you see here, to add your name to our mailing list, to give or receive information on any subject: call, or email us, or even snail mail us...
