The Art of Southern Storytelling
Anthony Thaxton has made a career of telling Southern stories, from Walter Anderson to the popular Mississippi Public Broadcasting series Palate to Palette. In 2023, Thaxton helped found the Institute of Southern Storytelling at Mississippi College with his wife, Amy, and Robert St. John. The Institute brings an interdisciplinary approach to storytelling through studying the Southern experience. Participants will collectively produce inspiring and instructive films, art, music, and writing, which will help others reflect on the South’s unique place and its larger role in the world. Thaxton will reflect on his award-winning work and what's next with the Institute.

He is a founding partner in the Institute for Southern Storytelling at Mississippi College (where he was named the 2019 Distinguished Art Alumnus of the Year).
