SUMMARY: The Walter Anderson Museum of Art and the Ocean Springs Library are collaborating on a competition to commission an artist for a mural on a currently bare wall at the library. This mural aims to beautify the space while reflecting the theme of “the magic of literacy and the power of place.” Artists are encouraged to draw inspiration from the coastal environment and the legacy of Walter Anderson, though they are not required to replicate his style. Submissions are due by October 1, and interest in the competition is high, with many artists actively working on proposals.

A competition is underway to bring a colorful new life to part of the Ocean Springs Library. Dave Elliot has the details.
