On Saturday the 26th of
June 23 members of GBAI met in
the parking lot behind
the chapel at
Gulf Breeze Methodist
Church, in GB proper.
We were transported by
Dreamcatcher to Ocean
Springs, MS and arrived
at the Walter Anderson
Museum at 9:30AM.
We viewed a short but
very interesting video
about the life of Walter
Anderson and were then
given a guided tour of
the Museum. All agreed
it was a very a
wonderful experience and
we had a great touring
this very interesting
museum. We were then
given a tour of The Mary
C Center for arts, a
wonderful facility in
Ocean Springs for art
education.
At about 11:30 we headed for Biloxi and arrived at noon at the Mary Mahoney Restaurant were we enjoyed an excellent lunch which included some wonderful entertainment by one of the owners of the restaurant. We left for the Mobile Museum of Art about 1:30PM and after an unscheduled detour by the Museum of Mobile (wrong museum) we arrived at the Moblie Museum of Art at 3:30. We explored the museum until closing at 5:00PM. All were impressed by the varied and extensive collection on display at this truly interesting museum.
We arrived back in Gulf Breeze at 6:30PM. As a benefit for the members, Gulf Breeze Arts covered the transportation and museum admission costs of this enjoyable trip. Similar events are being planned for the future.
