The Grand Opening of the L.V. Hull Legacy Center in Kosciusko, Mississippi
The cultural spotlight shines itself upon Kosciusko, a quiet town of an estimated 7,000 people in Attala County, Mississippi. Known as the birthplace of media personality Oprah Winfrey and Civil Rights activist James Meredith, the community is now forever synonymous with L.V. Hull (American, 1942 - 2008), an African-American outsider artist who also went by the self-given name “The Unusual Artist”. For three and a half decades, Hull transformed her humble abode into an elaborate artist-built environment rich with whimsically inventive installations and painted found objects - all deriving from the stuff of everyday life - from television sets and household tools to furniture and toys. Almost two decades after her passing, Hull’s home-studio recently achieved the rare honor of inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places at the level of National Significance - the first such instance of a black woman artist to reach that designation.
