Quality time at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum in #Biloxi today. Fell in love with the pottery of George Edgar Ohr, the sculptures and paintings of Greg Moran, and the beautiful stitched creations of Ruth Miller. #myhappyplace #ohrokeefemuseum #georgeohr #pottery #ruthmiller #embroidery #abstract #art #gregmoran #sculpture #photography #artist #artmuseum #themusehasspoken

Destination:Tucson The Ohr-O’Keefe  Museum of Art Biloxi, Mississippi

Once you leave Florida, the drive thru Alabama and Mississippi is fairly quick. 

When you cross into Mississippi, you soon find yourself in Biloxi. It’s pretty typical of a gambling town, lots of giant hotels and casinos , catering to those with too much money and not enough sense. You will also see many , many homeless folks, and people down on their luck. However, gambling towns usually have great museums. Biloxi has the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art. It’s hard to miss. The multiple buildings making up the museum were designed by Frank Gehry, and are truly fantastic. A combination of red brick , and silver , it made my brain go crazy. I didn’t have time to tour the museum, but I took lots of pics of the buildings and visited the gift shop. The lady running it was really cool, and after chatting , we realized our lives had some bizarre coincidences. We both went to college at the same time in Tallahassee, and used to hang out at some of the same clubs...but I digress. George Ohr was an innovative potter from Biloxi, and the museum is known to have an amazing ceramics center. They also offer all sorts of classes. I noticed Rodrigue, of Blue Dog fame , was having an exhibition in the main gallery, but I just didn’t feel like I had the time. There is so much still to see, and I want to see it all....

Come on out tomorrow night to the opening. I will be there, haggard and worn down from a long week but I’ll be having fun. #Repost @ohrokeefemuseum with @get_repost ・・・ Join us tomorrow evening for the opening reception of "Echoes of Ohr: A Juried Exhibit" from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. . Featured artists will be in attendance! Come meet the local artists who have captured and continued the unique spirit of George Ohr in their work. .
