The Initial Point Gallery is on the top floor of the Meridian City Hall. It's kind of a hidden gem. The displays rotate periodically. When I was up there, it was a display of beautiful painted and carved gourds and other artwork. A nice display of local artistic talent, plus a reception to meet the artists.

Seems like few people know about this delightful gallery in Meridian. Displays change every couple of months but are always interesting and of high quality artistry. The bad thing is that the hours open are business hours as the gallery is on the 3rd floor of Meridian city hall. Not so convenient for those who also work those hours. I do encourage everyone to make an effort to go visit. The area is just one large open space with a few glass display cases and two walls lined with art so it can be just a drop by visit.

Each month the creations of local artists are showcased. An artists' reception is held at the beginning of month, for a personal tour of the creations. Artists representing a variety of textures & genre are invited- from more traditional media such as oils to modern fabric pieces, photos and ceramics as well. The space for display is bright, has places for guests to sit and reflect. Having city offices support the arts is encouraging in these economic times!
