Working The Imagination In Fertile Southern Soil.
Documentary films, companion books, and a television series are currently in development with additional projects in the planning stages.
EUDORA
A major documentary film and companion book on the life and work of the beloved Southern writer Eudora Welty is currently in production. Both the film and book are slated for August 2024 release.
THE BICYCLE LOGS OF WALTER ANDERSON
In collaboration with John Anderson, Walter Anderson’s youngest son, the Institute will release The Bicycle Logs of Walter Anderson in Spring 2024. This book is a treasure in that it highlights the artist’s adventures “ashore” as he spent time traveling by bike through places like Texas and Florida and showcases much of Anderson’s art never seen before by the general public. The book will be available in independent bookstores throughout Mississippi as well as WAMA (Walter Anderson Museum of Art) and Realizations (the Walter Anderson shop).
