Local Artist Traci Stover Teaches Masterclass to Jones College Art Students

Jones College art students in Ellisville recently engaged in a learning session with Jackson native artist, Traci Stover. The University of Southern Mississippi professor, now living in Hattiesburg, spent an afternoon discussing her drawing techniques. Stover's work, known for its gardening and jazz music influences, was displayed at the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery at Jones College until March 22, 2024.

Stover's masterclass emphasized the importance of line in drawing and encouraged students to let their lines flow. Her art, guided by the rhythm of jazz music, offered a new viewpoint for the students. Her work, displayed at the gallery, served as a practical demonstration of her teachings.

The Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery will also host the Annual Sophomore Art Exhibition in April. The exhibition will feature the work of sophomore art students and will be open to the public from April 1 through April 26. This event is the final art show of the academic year at the gallery.

For those interested in visiting the gallery or learning about future Jones College art shows, the college has provided contact details and operating hours. The gallery is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., and by appointment only on Wednesdays. It is closed during the holidays.

More information about the Jones College Art Department is available on their website and social media platforms. The college invites interested individuals to explore their programs and stay updated on their events through their Facebook page and Instagram account.
