“The collaborative spirit of this makes it one of the most unique artistic projects of the year,” stated Associate Professor of Guitar Dr. Nicholas Ciraldo. “I cannot wait to see and hear the beautiful art presented by our own talented students. It will be a proud moment for the Arts at Southern Miss.”

The Gallery of Art and Design is located in George Hurst Building on the Hattiesburg campus.
