L.V. Hull: Love Is a Sensation

Mississippi Museum of Art
Jackson, Mississippi
March 20–June 14, 2026

This exhibition explores how the self-taught artist L.V. Hull (1942–2008) blended artmaking with Southern hospitality to craft a creative practice that engaged neighbors and admirers from around the world. Working with found and donated objects, paint, and glue, Hull produced both striking standalone works and a vibrant, immersive, art environment at her home of 34 years in the small town of Kosciusko, Mississippi. Love Is a Sensation celebrates Hull’s legacy through some 300 artworks, documentation of her home/studio environment, and ephemera from her personal archive. MMA’s presentation emphasizes the full range of Hull’s production—from large-scale pieces and assemblages to recreations of her richly adorned domestic environment—situating her work within a broader cultural and artistic context. L.V. Hull: Love Is a Sensation is presented in partnership with the L.V. Hull Legacy Center, a project of the Arts Foundation of Kosciusko. The Legacy Center, which includes Hull’s preserved home, will also open in spring 2026 with a parallel exhibition and related programming.
