"Hot Spots"
stay "Hot" all month!
Gallery 220
Gallery 220 is one of the most energetic artist co-ops on the gulf coast. Stop by and meet owners Jenise McCardell and husband Mark Currier and find out why this Old Town gallery is an epicenter of creative energy.
Gallery 220 is a co-operative gallery that features the work of local artists. Located just a few blocks from the beach, the gallery is housed in one of the few examples of art deco architecture in Old Town Bay St. Louis. While filled with amazing artwork by award-winning artists, you will not have the stereotypical “art gallery” experience when walking through the doors here. Twenty-three local artists belong to this cooperative gallery and split up the work schedule. That means when you walk through the door you will be greeted by artists who feel passionate about their work and will happily share both knowledge and enthusiasm while staffing the gallery. The gallery features paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewelry, t-shirts, pottery, photography and so much more. Some artists even bring their latest works in progress with them, so between helping customers, they are drawing, painting or sketching. Everyone feels welcomed and instantly at ease at Gallery 220. It is the type of place where art and real life blissfully meet, where customers stay long after their purchase to enjoy in the energy and good vibes. Make sure you stop by this "Hot Spot" as it has become a town anchor. The Gallery will be serving "Frida" food, so stop by and snack while you shop or talk to artists about their work. Galley 220 is open seven days a week, Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday Noon-5pm.
