The Gulfport Arts Center recently completed a long list of renovations to preserve a historic building, offer more protection of art from the elements, and make access easier. Funds for the work came from Mississippi Arts Commission grants of $125,000 and $75,000 and $50,000 from the city.
“All of this was done with the goal of being able to meet the standards required to host loaned exhibits from other art organizations,” says Director of Operations Mark Kelso.
