Mississippi Blues Museum Art Show

The Fondren Art Gallery celebrates both the wide-ranging visual artistry and the rich musical history of the state, right in the heart of Jackson. We are very excited to share with you the Mississippi Blues Museum Art Show - a newly renovated space dedicated to the display and sale of art depicting Blues legends and culture, and a wonderful venue for many events to come!

The Mississippi Blues Museum can be found on the lower level of the Fondren Art Gallery, at 3242 N. State Street in Jackson. The space includes three main rooms: "Po' Richard's Juke Joint" (above, left) - an area for drinks and conversation, The Portrait Gallery (below) - a room filled floor-to-ceiling with homages to all of your favorite blues legends, and The Green Room (above, right) - a delightfully emerald-tinted space with a stage, instruments, and yes, even more art.
