Pacesetter Gallery became the epicenter of beauty, fashion, and inspiring art! Dressed in Lace Bridal Boutique our models Anna Leah Jolly, Miss Mississippi 2025 and Marley Dew, Rankin County's Miss Hospitality, inspired our artists as they posed for this special 2 hour event.  

Wearing Mia Bella Prom and Pageant in a stunning red gown was Jane Granberry, Miss Mississippi 2026. In a floor length, flowing blue gown, Lauryl Joyner, Miss Madison County 2026, created a beautiful tableau for the artists to create figure drawings. 

Eight Mississippi artists were selected to participate in the inaugural year of this event, created in connection to Flowood Fashion Week. Each artist rose to the challenge, sharing their own style and talking with event attendees through the evening.

Artists were selected for their unique style, level of technique, and overall compositional strength. Many artists created in multiple mediums and created many artworks throughout the event. A selection of paintings are avaiLable from September 22 to October 9 at the DRESSED TO DRAW EXHIBITION
