Mississippi Art Schools

Students at Mississippi's art and design colleges can get crucial career training surrounded by the state's beautiful countryside, notable art museums, and rich history and heritage. The state's capital and largest city, Jackson, is home to the Mississippi Museum of Art and the Fonden District, a vibrant cultural and design center. College students can also visit the local fine arts scene at Jackson's newly renovated state-of the-art Mississippi Crafts Center.

Mississippi's Art Scene

Mississippi design students benefit from local art scenes, not just in Jackson, but across the state, with important art museums such as the Ohr-O'Keef Museums in Biloxi and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs. Architecture and interior design students can enjoy historic buildings in various architectural styles dating back to the Civil War--including Longwood, the largest octagonal house in North America. Aspiring Mississippi artists and designers of all stripes can draw inspiration from the rich Civil War history and Native American cultural heritage that infuses this state.
