Backyards & Beyond is a Mississippi nonprofit arts organization ... dedicated to creating and managing art exhibitions that celebrate, enhance, and encourage the strength, resiliency and hope of the human spirit. These exhibitions serve to educate, motivate, and promote public awareness of how people's lives are affected by the events and social situations of the day.

Why We Were Formed
Following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, there was recognition of the need to document and present in an historic and meaningful way the personal stories of those affected in our home state, Mississippi. The organization Backyards and Beyond grew out of this recognition and works to organize and tour fine art exhibitions through museums, art centers, and universities across the South and the nation.
