Mississippi State art majors to showcase work in senior exhibits

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Two art exhibitions featuring a compilation of work by 20 seniors will be on display in ��Ƶ’s Old Main Art Galleries through April 29. The students will be available in the gallery to discuss their art at a reception on Thursday [April 23] from 5–6:30 p.m.

Miah Hall’s solo exhibition, “Nettleton,” is an exploration of the structure of small-town life through her photography.

A photograph of a distinctive home with a rounded roof from the "Nettleton" photo exhibition — Photography by senior art major Miah Hall, along with work from 19 graphic design seniors, is on display at ��Ƶ through April 29.

“My images focus on the people who carry invisible and visible responsibilities within their communities, along with the spaces they occupy and move through each day,” Hall said. “The exhibit asks viewers to consider how community is maintained, who carries the weight and what exists quietly within it.”

In addition, “Synthesis” features capstone work from 19 graphic design seniors.

Kaylee Gould, a senior from Memphis, Tennessee, said the group chose the name “Synthesis,” which serves as the theme for the show.
