Event Flyer

Mary Shepard is the long-time owner of the famed Club Ebony, a nightclub based in Indianola, Mississippi. During Shepard’s tenure as the owner, Club Ebony hosted some of the most famous artists of decades past, such as B.B. King and Ray Charles. She was instrumental in ensuring the nightclub stayed open for generations and remained a popular venue among locals and visitors alike. This flyer takes many cues from the story of Shepard and Club Ebony, with Shepard’s glasses and tiara being the main objects of focus, but the symbols are also derived from the kinds of music played at the club and the orange lighting is a callback to that which was observed in the club.
