Art in the Pass

View Full Calendar

The 27th annual Art in the Pass returned to scenic Memorial Park, overlooking the beach and gulf waters, in Pass Christian, Mississippi, April 5 and 6, 2025. Our vetted fine arts festival attracts about 100 artists from 10 states and approximately 10,000 visitors from Pensacola to Baton Rouge.

We are known for our Southern hospitality, beautiful location, amazing art, great food and incredible live entertainment.

In addition, the Celebrate the Gulf Marine Education Festival is held concurrently each year, this year with an added science component.

Funds raised directly benefit our Gulf Coast communities.  Due to the generosity of our sponsors and visitors, we were able to increase to Six our scholarships for rising high school seniors who are pursuing art education. Plus we made significant grants for art supplies to 14 area high schools, the Pass Christian School District and the Pass Christian Boys and Girls Club. In 2023, with the invaluable help of our sponsors, we provided nearly $40,000 in scholarships, grants and awards.
