A University Museum visitor soaks in the sights and sounds of the Blues @ Home exhibit. H.C. Porter’s work is on display through Aug. 2.<\/p><\/div>\n

Award-winning Mississippi artist H.C. Porter has delivered a powerful case of the blues to the University Museum. And it\u2019s more than alright.<\/p>\n

\u2018Blues @ Home\u2019<\/a> includes 30 portraits of living Mississippi blues legends, each paired with an audio file allowing you to hear the artist\u2019s story in their own words. B.B. King, Bill \u201cHowl-N-Madd\u201d Perry, Jimbo Mathus and Cadillac John Nolden are just a few of the legendary artists included in the exhibit.<\/p>\n

If you love art (I do) and\/or if you love the blues (I do, too), you will want to spend time soaking in the sights and sounds of this incredible exhibit. Porter transforms her black and white photographs of the blues legends\u2014taken in their at-home environments\u2014into vibrant, colorful works of art. There is something authentically entertaining in her work, and the addition of the oral histories brings the paintings to life. If you had a chance to see her post-Katrina exhibit, \u2018Backyards & Beyond,\u2019 then you know what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n

Details: The University Museum<\/a> is open 10 a.m. \u2013 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Don’t go on Monday, or during regular university holidays. They’re closed. Admission to this special exhibit is $5 for the general public, $4 for senior adults, and $3 for children (ages 6-17). Admission is always free for UM students, UM Museum members, and children under the age of five.<\/p>\n

As Milton Campbell wrote, \u201cthe blues is back, and it\u2019s here to stay.\u201d (At least until Aug. 2, when the exhibit travels to its next destination.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
