Artist Roger Leonard Long has launched a new exhibition titled "Portrait Phenomena" at the Ridgeland Library in Jackson, Mississippi. The showcase features Long’s signature life-like portraiture created using graphite and colored pencils, and was recently highlighted on the local program Studio 3.
This exhibition serves as a community-focused cultural event that bridges the gap between local artistry and public education. By offering a free workshop alongside the display, Long and the library are fostering local engagement and providing accessible art instruction to the regional community.
