An Evening With P. Sanders McNeal

New Eyes
Last fall, members of The Journey, a Jackson church community that meets in Hal & Mal's, gave disposable cameras to 12 children who live near Cherokee Heights in Fondren. They photographed pets, family members, friends—things that were special to them. At the end of the week, the kids returned the cameras, and The Journey got started developing and framing their work, which will hang in Sneaky Beans through April. The kids' images are whimsical, sometimes random and beautifully simple. Some of the young artists will attend the reception. Call 769-232-5881.
"Scholastic Art Awards of 2009

With more than 2,000 submissions from students in grades 7-12 from around Mississippi, the Alliance for Young Artists judges the entries and assigns awards to the top artists.
