Memphis College of Art has been making pilgrimages to Horn Island for the past 35 years. Approximately 1,500 students, faculty, and staff have traversed Horn Island through this program, carefully walking in the footsteps of Walter Anderson in their study of this unique ecosystem. WAMA has been a proud participant in this project, exhibiting the work of these intrepid artists at the Museum for the past five years. When Memphis College was forced to close in 2020, we feared that the visual study of the island would falter. However, the resiliency of these artists mimics that of nature and they return to Horn Island in search of its unique inspiration. One could say that they are drawn by the light . . .
