Published 1:06 pm Tuesday, November 12, 2024

Clinton artist Wyatt Waters has released his annual calendar and will be signing copies of the 2025 edition during a Wine and Spine event that will be hosted by The Rose of Clay Street, 717 Clay St. from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday.

This cherished annual release, titled “Wyatt Waters 2025: In the Year 2025” features 13 vibrant watercolor prints that capture the beauty of everyday life—each one more stunning than the last, organizers said.

“We are so thrilled to welcome Wyatt back,” Lori Fagan, owner of The Rose of Clay Street, said. “This event will hopefully become a beautiful tradition here where people can meet one of Mississippi’s most beloved artists, pick up a meaningful gift, and just enjoy a festive evening in the heart of Vicksburg.”

The 2025 limited edition calendars are printed on textured paper evoking the feel of his original watercolors, with each personally signed by Waters.

In addition to his calendars, the Wine and Spine event will also feature a wine tasting of Waters’ very own wine — Waters to Wine. The elegant French cabernet sauvignon has been noted as a perfect holiday red, and attendees of the event will have the opportunity to purchase signed bottles — alongside calendars — with both making memorable Christmas gifts, organizers said.

Kelle Barfield, the owner of Lorelei Books and a merchant providing the sales of Waters’ calendar said, “We’re honored to be part of this event. There’s something magical about bringing the community together, especially with someone as talented and beloved as Wyatt. His calendars, alongside a glass of Waters’ wine, embody the spirit of what makes Vicksburg so special.”

The Wine and Spine event is free and open to the public.
