TOUR MCC

Casteel Art Gallery

Step into the vibrant world of art by visiting the Casteel Art Gallery, located in the Davidson Fine Arts Center in Ivy-Scaggs Hall. With its expansive space and movable walls, the gallery showcases local and renowned artists' works, from abstract to realistic. Five exhibitions are spotlighted from late August through early May, with works of visiting and local professional artists, students, alumni, and faculty and unique items from the permanent collection featured.

The Casteel Art Gallery's mission is to educate its audience about the world of art and serve as a platform to promote opportunities for students and the community. Each spring, the Casteel Art Gallery conducts the Annual Fine Arts Student Competition, providing Fine Arts and Graphics Art students with first-hand experience in the professional world by displaying academic art – produced within two years – at MCC.

On Display Now: Artwork by Sue Busby

Meridian Community College’s Casteel Gallery will feature the work of Mississippi artist Susan Chakiris Busby from Oct. 7 through Nov. 4. 

An opening reception will be held Oct. 7 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the gallery. 

Busby is a painter, photographer and longtime art educator whose work is inspired by the landscapes, waterways, colors and textures of the natural world. Her paintings range from impressionistic to abstract and often feature bright colors and layered surfaces. 

She has worked in watercolor and acrylic for many years and more recently began creating pieces with cold wax and oil. The process allows her to build layers of color and texture on surfaces such as birch panels and yupo paper.
