Explore the vibrant watercolors, decorated ceramics, and detailed pencil sketches of Walter Inglis Anderson, sometimes called the “South’s most elusive artist.” A prolific twentieth century artist, Anderson led a deeply private life and often sought out the tranquility of his coastal cottage in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and spent long stretches camping on Horn Island, to capture the beauty of the natural world of the Gulf South. The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience in Meridian hosts a traveling exhibition of forty original pieces by Anderson. 11 am—5 pm Monday through Saturday; 1 pm—5 pm Sunday. $10; $8 for military and seniors; $5 for students and children. walterandersonmuseum.org.
