Getting Closer to Your Craft

Your creativity. Mississippi’s wild.

Your canvas is waiting.

Paint What You See

Find Your Frame

Color From The Earth

Choose Your Medium

Grenada offers something no studio can — the real thing.

Whether you paint en plain air, photograph migrating birds, or paddle a cypress swamp with a watercolor set, your next subject is out there waiting for you.

Where Art and Nature Come Alive

Lee Tartt Nature Preserve hosts seasonal events where artists and nature lovers come together.

From Spring Wings to Enchanted Forest, and even Nature at Night, these experiences blur the line between observer and creator and are always family-friendly.
