Pike School of Art – Mississippi announces with deep sadness the passing of Calvin Phelps, our founder and Executive Director.

After being away from his native Pike County for many years, he returned in 2015 and launched this organization with the hope of transforming his community through the power of art.

An artist himself, he used his incredible arsenal of talents to teach, empower, enrich, unify and inspire. He conducted art programs for kids and enlisted financial support from major donors with equal skill and passion.

Calvin made a profound mark in his community, and we at Pike School of Art, while devastated by his loss, rest assured of his powerful legacy.

Every so often someone enters your life that "shakes things up"! Fern Crosley was just such a person. Her love for the theater and this community were unmatched and if you were her friend, you knew it!! In January the State Street Junior Players initiated The Fern Awards. These will be annual awards voted on by our Season Ticket Holders and SSJP members. It's not too late to secure your voting privileges. SSJP Memberships are available as well as a 5 Punch Flex Pass Season Ticket. Just let me (Debbie Watkins) know if you need forms. Voting will take place following the Christmas show and winners will be announced at our 2024 Season Reveal. Thank you for helping us honor a life well lived!
