Riverfront Art Park     

            

      


The Art Park - January 25, 2005

The City of Vicksburg has asked the Vicksburg Art Association to adopt the new Art Park. The photo shows the "blank canvas" of the park as it is being constructed. We are hoping to make the park a "hands on" community project created and shaped by many of our citizens. We have some concepts on the table but nothing is carved in stone yet. Please share your suggestions by leaving comments.

Mississippi Museum of Art Comes to Vicksburg (at the SCHF)     

            

      

The following info was received form Bess Averett of Vicksburg's Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation

The Mississippi Museum of Art has selected the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation’s Cobb House as an affiliate site, which means that throughout the year we will be able to see exhibits from the Museum’s permanent collection right in our back yard!  

SCHF cordially invites you to attend a cocktail reception announcing the new affiliate relationship, Thursday, January 27 in the SCHF Auditorium (corner of Crawford and Cherry Streets).

Select artwork from the Mississippi Museum of Art’s permanent collection will be exhibited featuring Vicksburg’s own Caroline Compton, along with works by her Mississippi contemporaries including Eudora Welty, William Hollingsworth, Marie Hull, and Walter Anderson.

There is no fee to attend and the event is open to the public.  Please help us support the Arts in Vicksburg through your attendance! 

Thanks so much for all you help!

Description

            

The VAA offers art-related programs and/or speakers. Throughout the year workshops in varied art disciplines are held. Competitive exhibtions of work by regional artists are hosted. Most of these events are held at the Old Constitution Firehouse Gallery located at the corner of Main and Openwood Streets
          
            

About the Firehouse

                        The VAA is fortunate to have as its headquarters one of Vicksburg's first firehouses. This building has been designated as a Mississippi Landmark by the Department of Archives and History. The Old Constitution Firehouse is believed by the Archives and History Department to be the most intact Victorian fire station in the state.

It was built in 1870 as the second house for the city's first volunteer fire company and later housed the first paid company.

  The building retains the central stall, barracks room, cupola, and bell which was used to call the volunteers.

  The presence of the fire station made the Openwood - Main Street area one of the most desirable residential districts in Vicksburg before 1876.
