A mixed-media work titled "Beneath My Souls" by Vicksburg artist Lesley Silver opens the spring 2007 gallery lineup at Jackson County campus of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Titled "Beneath My Souls," the show will be up through Feb. 16 and hold its opening reception at 6 p.m. Thursday with a gallery talk by the artist at 6:30.
