It’s the end of an era for a nonprofit artist cooperative in Downtown Ocean Springs.
‘Priced out of the market’; The Art House in Ocean Springs closes its doors after 25 years of businessPublished: Dec. 21, 2024 at 10:46 PM CSTOCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. -
December 21 is the last time an open sign will invite locals and visitors inside the quaint cottage to enjoy original artwork.“But hopefully we will find someplace else,” Sandra Halat adds.Just this week, it was sold- and the members voted to close shop because of a rental addendum that made it too expensive to stay until the end of their lease in March.
“It is a setback because we don’t have an outlet now through the Ocean Springs Art Association, and there’s no longer a nonprofit art co-op in Ocean Springs at all,” Ruddiman says. Ruddiman is the Art House’s steering committee chairwoman. She’s been with the co-op for 11 years, along with more than 20 artists who sell their creations here.“There’s so much manufactured work out there it’s hard to be able to find original work by local artists so that’s the thing that I think will be gone when we close,” Kathy Tosch explains.Each artist paid quarterly dues and volunteered as sales clerks.“I’m just hoping we do something.
