Great news art lovers! For the whole month of July, there will be over 200 outstanding paintings on display from artists across the state at the Art Center of Mississippi in downtown Jackson. It is what we locals have come to know as the annual Mississippi Artists' Guild fine arts exhibition.
Art work will be judged by Gary Walters, an award-winning artist and Jackson native, and much of the artwork will be for sale. Artists in the show range from beginners to longtime painters. Some of the showcased painters are even well known artists. However, they will all be at the art show for the same purpose: to inspire us all by art.
This will be a free event: both exhibit and parking. The show will be open every day from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 201 E. Pascagoula St. in the Art Center of Mississippi, which was formerly the Mississippi Museum of Art before the new building was finished half a block away.
The Art Center of Mississippi or Mississippi Art Center, as some call it, mostly serves as administrative offices for the opera, symphony and ballet. However, they do host special events, such as this art exhibit and other exhibits along with rehearsals and shows by independent performers on a rental basis. So, you can still catch some really great events throughout the year and many of them are free.
This is one event you are sure to find some good deals on really fine art for your home.
