Would you like to browse original artwork created by local Mississippi gulf coast artists? I know you are in need of a beautiful painting, photograph, or sculpture to enhance your home living space. Well, stop by and take a look.... The Ocean Springs Art Association is proud to invite you to their 41st Annual Fall Art Show & Sale, being held at the Ocean Springs Community Center on Washington Avenue in Ocean Springs.
Take a look behind the scenes as the members set up for the show.....and if you missed it....the opening night reception was a fun event!!!
Approximately 400 members in the 6 coastal counties have the opportunity to exhibit each year and this year almost 300 entries were hung and arranged in the community center with the Walter Anderson murals for a wonderful backdrop.
Sunday is the day artists submit work and it takes 30 to 40 OSAA members to assist with assessing the artwork for correct size, etc...and processing entry fees.

| Even though, it is a long day....everyone is excited to see the artwork and visit with each other! |
