/ Heraclitus /
"Heraclitus of Ephesus was an ancient Greek, pre-Socratic, Ionian philosopher and a native of the city of Ephesus, which was then part of the Persian Empire. Little is known of Heraclitus's life. He wrote a single work, only fragments of which have survived. Most of the ancient stories about him are later fabrications based on interpretations of the preserved fragments. His paradoxical philosophy and appreciation for wordplay and cryptic utterances has earned him the epithet "the obscure" since antiquity. He was considered a misanthrope who was subject to melancholia. Consequently, he became known as "the weeping philosopher" in contrast to the ancient philosopher Democritus, who was known as "the laughing philosopher". The central idea of Heraclitus' philosophy is the unity of opposites."

Did you know?
We have a 17-acre lake in the middle of Downtown Hattiesburg!

Duncan Lake is a hidden gem in the midst of our growing downtown. It's also the focus of a grant recently awarded to the Community Arts Center, Hattiesburg Landmark Preservation, Inc and Downtown Hattiesburg by the AARP Livable Communities and AARP Mississippi. An additional partner for the project includes our friends at Hattiesburg Alliance for Public Art.

The grant will go toward beautification efforts and arts programming at Duncan Lake, involving several community work days. The first, of which, will be this Saturday, August 21, from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m.

Volunteers will assist in clean-up efforts, painting seating, planting and completing community art installations. This event is family-friendly and children are encouraged to attend!

Please note - COVID-19 protocols will be adhered to in order to have a safe and successful event. We ask that all who may have been exposed to COVID-19 or who have recently been diagnosed, stay home.

To help the Community Arts Center adequately plan for the weekend, please fill out a volunteer form located --> https://bit.ly/hburgaarpchallenge.

Last week we had the privilege of partnering with students from The University of Southern Mississippi for several group cleanup efforts along the Longleaf Trace for The Big Event.

Special thanks to City Councilman Jeffrey George for helping during the cleanup efforts.
