Gulf to Plate

Mississippi’s culinary community, seafood industry, and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art come together to host Gulf to Plate, an evening of food and dialogue paying homage to the diversity of the Southern coast and encouraging cooperation to protect the bounty of the Gulf waters.

During a cocktail hour and between dinner courses, WAMA facilitates conversations with special guests, including chefs Vishwesh Bhatt and Alex Perry, Mike and Anita Arguelles of The French Hermit Oyster Company, and Jim Franks and Harriet Perry from the Gulf Coast Research Lab.

Proceeds support the Walter Anderson Museum of Art’s nature-based educational programs and mission of the to empower lifelong curiosity and connection to the natural world through the art of Walter Anderson and kindred artists. 

All seafood will be safely sourced from offshore waters, while drawing attention to the reality that some areas of the Gulf are not currently viable for sea life due to critical environmental conditions related to the opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway in Louisiana.

6 pm at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art. $100; includes all food and drink. walterandersonmuseum.org.
