Attic Gallery

Outsider Art, Southern Contemporary Art and Fine Crafts For more than 34 years Lesley Silver's Attic Gallery has been hidden up a mysterious flight of stairs above the legendary Highway 61 in downtown Vicksburg, Mississippi. The brave souls who climb those stairs find a sensory overload. Art of every description covers the walls from the ceiling down, and crafts of all kinds spill across mismatched tables and onto the floor. Collectors and visitors wander the hall and explore the old high-ceilinged rooms of the gallery, threading their way through all the stuff, craning their necks, crawling on all fours, digging through piles of original prints and photos vainly trying to see it all. There's too much.
