Do you like viewing art exhibits? Or would you prefer to learn how to draw and paint? Or listen to music by local musicians and eat good food?
If your answer to any of the above is yes, then the Mary C. has something for you!
With a roster of dozens of classes this fall, art exhibits, and other events, there’s something for everybody in the family at this cultural center.
The weekend of the Peter Anderson Festival is the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the Mary C.’s offerings.
“Our doors will be open to the public all weekend,” says Arts & Culture Coordinator, Sarah Qarqish. “We will have our galleries and the history museum open. Lots of new works from our Local Creatives and Mary C. partners will be set up in the lobby and down the halls as a great start to our new giftshop!”

The Ocean Springs Chamber- Main Street-Tourism Bureau has a catchy campaign that celebrates the community of Ocean Springs: ILoveOS. As a product of the marketing surrounding
the city’s Great American
Main Street win in 2013, the Chamber-Main Street works hard to promote the cultural aspects
of the community and express the city’s vibrant quality of life. With its walkability, restaurants, galleries, locally owned shops
and year-round festivals, the Chamber-Main Street encourages travelers to come shop, eat
and stay in Ocean Springs. As part of this campaign, you’ll
see numerous staple marketing pieces, websites, social media,
advertising and other promotional
pieces that express
why people love Ocean Springs. ILoveOS trademark
pending.
If you don’t feel safe leaving the comfort of your home, you can still explore the festival’s offerings! Qarqish and Cynthia Sutton will be touring the Peter Anderson Festival highlighting different artists on the Ocean Springs Community Live Show. It’s a show that promotes
local business and art happenings within our community. The
show is available to watch on
the Ocean Springs Chamber
of Commerce’s various social media, like YouTube.
