Gallery 220

Description

Gallery 220 is a co-operative gallery which was organized just five weeks after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Mississippi Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005. Located just a few blocks from the beach in an historic building in Old Town Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, Gallery 220 comprises a group of artists and business people who rose to the formidable challenges which the storm presented. Thanks to the perseverance and hard work of building owners Jenise McCardell and Mark Currier of Clay Creations, the building was cleaned out and repaired in time for the October Second Saturday Artwalk, a much loved tradition in Old Town. Following is a list of the artists. We invite you all to visit us here in beautiful Bay St. Louis. Michelle Allee - Michelle is a Gulf Coast artist who resides in Pass Christian, Mississippi.
