Firespark! Firespark! is a summer program that focuses on the arts and humanities. Students spend two weeks at Brenau University, taking classes in a variety of areas: fine art, dance, theatre, music, mass communications and writing, among others. There is also a Medical Scholars program for students interested in the sciences. It has been described as "the best two weeks of your life." As a five-session Firesparker, I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in exploring beyond the realm of general high school education.

The Circle Within The Circle Within houses the creations of Chris Baschon, ranging from the more traditional work: drawings, paintings, mixed media with a diversity of subject matter made from a variety of art media, to the less traditional: mandalas. Her mystical creations, through soul-searching, are very dazzling and unique. In addition to being a most talented artist, I had the privilege of having Chris Baschon as my middle school art teacher, and she really helped spark my passion for art.
Neutralize Neutralize is the collection of work by Alice Doyle. Alice is, hands-down, the most unique, talented, and creative human being I've ever met. I've often referred to her as my muse, and her countenance graces many of my portraits. Her many talents include photography, drawing, poetry and prose. I have known Alice for almost ten years, and she continues to be the most interesting and fun individual, and Mississippi's most gracious hostess.
