Mississippi State Hospital's (MSH) will host its 21st Annual Serendipity Art Show and Silent Auction Thursday, Sept. 2, from 11 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. on the hospital's campus in Whitfield.
Serendipity features artwork from MSH's Art Services programs and Community Services Art Workshops. The show includes handmade paper, pencil drawings, ceramics, pastels, watercolor, acrylic and tempera paintings, crayon batiks and mixed media.

The artwork will be sold by silent auction. Bidding will end at 6:30 p.m. All proceeds will be applied to the individual artists' accounts.

"Art is a pure form of expression, and displaying these artists' work is a vital part of their treatment," said art instructor Anthony DiFatta, who conducts the Community Services art workshops. "Exhibits such as Serendipity give the public an opportunity to connect with these artists who, in turn, benefit tremendously from knowing something they have created is appreciated by others."

All artists are patients, residents or consumers of the hospital and incorporate age groups from children to adult seniors. The show features work from artists in Psychiatric Services, Community Services, Jaquith Nursing Home and Oak Circle Center Child/Adolescent Unit.

All artwork will be sold by silent auction and bids will close at 6:30 p.m. All proceeds will be applied to the individual artists' accounts.
