Description
Summary:Since I last wrote, we have welcomed Jackson's Steve Yates for The Teeth of the Souls, illustrator and writer Barry Moser for We Were Brothers, and New Orleans's Tom Piazza for A Free State. Other events planned for the anniversary week include the 2016 Scholastic Awards ceremony with author Shalanda Stanley serving as the keynote speaker; a day welcoming students from Jackson's post-secondary educational institutions; a "pop-up" art show by local artists featuring renditions of Welty, her fictional characters and/or or her home and garden; and our annual plant sale with Welty garden conservator Susan Haltom. [...]on a quantitative note, the EWH&G welcomed over 5,700 visitors during 2015, an increase of over 9% from 2014 and a 40% increase since 2011.
