JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – This Mississippi Museum of Art premiered a new event Friday evening. It’s called the Art Remix. Organizers originally expected about 500 people to attend, but early estimates show many more people came out to the special event.
Live music kept the crowd moving with two bands and a disc jockey. Plus a scavenger hunt took folks throughout the various galleries to view the masterpieces on display. The goal of the new event was to get people through the doors of the museum who otherwise would not visit.
“(We’re) really enjoying this. It’s great art. You don’t realize what Mississippi has to offer until you come to the Mississippi Museum of Art and see what they got,” said Jerry Rowzee visiting from Madison.
The next Art Remix is scheduled on August 14th from 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
