"The American Delta" is an exploration of modern Delta Blues culture as seen through the eyes of a young woman. Kayzakian-Rowe's work is a high-contrast, gritty and grainy tribute to the men and women bleeding their souls into the blues.

Shot completely in analog, "The American Delta" looks as if it had just been found in a dusty trunk stowed away at the turn of the century. Accompanying the photography will be a selection of Brandy's vibrant acrylic and watercolor paintings featuring both fictional and actual bluesmen and a very special Clarksdale resident. Focusing on live performance, local heroes and southern landscapes, this collection is distinctively the American Delta.

Reception begins at 5 p.m., with a Gallery Talk by the artist at 5:30 p.m. Music by Daddy Rich.
