Individual Sponsorships through Artwork Purchases

Essential to the funding of this project is the pre-selling of every painting in the exhibition, either to a private or corporate collection. These paintings will be on loan to the exhibit and will travel for a minimum of two years.
From the individual patron to the Pearl High School Advanced Art Club which sold candy to raise funds to purchase its painting, the spirit of volunteerism and giving shines brightly in the support being shown this exceptional exhibition. The purchase of a painting does not express the full extent of the gift each patron is making. These paintings will be on loan to the exhibit and will travel for two years (H.C. Porter will create new replacement paintings to continue traveling with the exhibit after the initial patrons take possession of their paintings). The ability to list each painting as being “in the collection of” tangibly reflects the spirit of community nation wide which grew out of the events of August 29, 2005.

Through generous donations or the pre-purchase of an exhibition painting, limited edition giclee, or commemorative poster, H. C. Porter patrons across the nation have made the development of this project possible to date.

Please consider adding your name to this distinguished list. Help us take Mississippi’s story to the rest of the nation by reserving a painting in your name now from the photographic images still available. To place your order or for more details please call 601.661.9444.

"H.C. Porter’s powerful images of the Human Spirit, paired with audio recordings of those represented in the paintings, will keep the awareness and needs of our state alive for as many years as this Exhibit is presented. The opportunity to show the rest of this country and the world who we are as Mississippians is monumental. The unity, diversity, resiliency, and love for this state recorded throughout her documentary, both visually and audibly, is certain to transform the often held, outdated stereotype of this great state forever."
