George Ohr's Birthday Celebration

Join us for a vibrant celebration of George Ohr's 169th Birthday at the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art on Saturday, July 11, from 10 AM to 4 PM. This family-friendly event honors the “Mad Potter of Biloxi” with a day full of creativity, community, art, and live music, all set against the stunning Biloxi waterfront.

Get involved in the excitement by applying for our Maker’s Market, which features local artists and makers showcasing handmade goods, artwork, and crafts. Young entrepreneurs aged 5-17 are invited to participate in the special Children's Maker’s Market, where they can share and sell their handmade creations.

With free admission, attendees can explore the South’s only Frank Gehry-designed art museum while enjoying a variety of artistic activities and delicious food. Don’t miss this opportunity to support local makers and celebrate the artistic spirit of the Mississippi Gulf Coast! Register now to secure a vendor spot, as spaces are limited for both markets.
