Lesley Interviewed in Jackson Free Press

Lynette Hanson interviewed Lesley for the current issue of the Jackson Free Press.

An excerpt:

I think of it as a place to nurture the patrons, the artists. It’s always open to looking at new artists. What I find is that some will call and say, ‘Are you not accepting new artists?’ I’ll never do that. When we find someone that fits us like a glove, it works. I will say that I have no interest in expanding, only in bringing art and people together. There’s nothing structured or focused. I’m not structured or focused—what can I say?
