Art of Pairing: Bedford at the Bayou

SAVE THE DATE! We’re thrilled to announce that the 2026 Art of Pairing, Bower Center’s signature fundraising event, will celebrate our 20th Anniversary with a theme inspired by our roots, Bower at the Bayou! This special evening on October 17, 2026, honors Dr. John Bower, whose generosity launched Bower Center for the Arts. Dr. Bower lived in Mississippi and hosted one of his favorite early events here at Bower Center, a lively crawfish festival. In that spirit, expect an unforgettable night of Southern charm, gourmet flavors, live music, and art experiences as we toast two decades of creativity and community. Mark your calendars! This will be a celebration you won’t want to miss! More details coming soon!
