We may not be open just yet, but we definitely know good pottery when we see it. 👀

We’re excited to share these beautiful pieces by artist Tina Le, currently featured by Gallery 782. Supporting fellow artists and celebrating great work in our creative community is part of what The Art House is all about.

Enjoy these gorgeous pieces now, and stay tuned as we continue preparing our new space for a Fall 2026 opening in Ocean Springs. We can’t wait to welcome you in and share the artists, makers, and inspiration that will fill our walls.

After two years away, we’re finally coming home.

When we lost our downtown location due to the sale of the building and rising rents, we made the difficult decision to close the doors of The Art House.

But art has a way of finding its way back.

A new space is currently being transformed, and we’re excited to share that The Art House will reopen in Fall 2026 in Ocean Springs.

Over the coming months we’ll be sharing renovation updates, sneak peeks, artist news, and the story of building our new creative home.

Thank you for sticking with us. We can’t wait to open the doors again. Until then it would mean so much to us if you would like, comment, and share this post to help get the good news out! ❤️
