March 2013 The SCHF is proud to welcome the original art of Thomas “Tom” Cochran. The Cochran Art Exhibit opened in the Academy Building of the Southern Cultural Heritage Center on Monday, March 4th with an opening reception. The exhibit is on display until March 28 during regular business hours. Admission is free. The original watercolors are so beautiful (i.e. Longwood in Natchez, the Old Country Store in Lorman, the Sprague and 22 more additional other works of art). Join us Tuesday, March 19th at 5:30pm at the Southern Cultural Heritage Convent as Chris Meister discusses his latest book, “James Riely Gordon: His Courthouses and Other Public Architecture.” Meister documented the influential Texas architect's career across decades and across the nation. Meister focuses on the public architecture, the pursuit of which took Gordon from San Antonio to Dallas and on to New York City as he secured commissions in nine states. Gordon was the architect of Vicksburg's City Hall building. Admission is Free and open to the public. Lorelei Books will be on site for the book signing. February 2013
