“The Art House” is Coming Back Soon to  Our New Location!

The Art House is an artist co-op that is a part of The Ocean Springs Art Association (OSAA) in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. It has been mentioned in Southern Living Magazine numerous times, and it draws visitors from all over the United States.

Housed in a small, cozy cottage owned by St. John’s Episcopal Church, it showcases a wide variety of 2-D art, pottery, jewelry and a variety of 3-dimensional art created by award-winning local artists. In addition, many artists have note cards and other boutique items for sale.

The Art House features paintings in a variety of mediums (oils, acrylics, watercolor, and mixed media), photography, collages, decorative gourds, wall hangings, hand-crafted jewelry, pottery, wood turning, stained glass, bookmarks, and note cards depicting original art. There are numerous browse bins containing a variety of art at very reasonable prices.

The Art House is a wonderful place to pick up a gift for any special occasion or for your own home. Interior Designers frequent the Art House to look for art for client’s homes.

Members of the Art House Co-op must be members of the Ocean Springs Art Association for six months before making application to join the Art House. If there is an opening, a prospective member must submit representative samples of their work to the Steering Committee to be juried in. If the work is accepted, the new member will be invited to join. If they are not selected, they are encouraged to reapply at a later time. Art House Membership Dues are collected quarterly. The dues are used to help cover the cost of rent, utilities and publicity costs. Each Art House member must commit to one full year and agree to sit-operate the business for a full day once every month. If for some reason you can not sit at your assigned time, you can pay a fee to have a volunteer substitute sit for you.

You will often find artists at work on the days that they work at the Art House.
