Pottery exhibit highlight of Ocean Springs festival

The opening of an exhibit on famed Biloxi master potter George Ohr will
coincide with the popular Peter Anderson Festival in Ocean Springs in
early November, catching visitors from around the country.

The Walter Anderson Museum of Art will show George Ohr: Mischievous Master
Nov. 3-Jan. 28. The Peter Anderson Festival, a popular fine arts showcase
that attracts tens of thousands, is Nov. 4-5.

The exhibit is part of the "Museum Without Walls" program that ensures
that museums that have lost their facilities in Hurricane Katrina may
continue to exhibit during the rebuilding process.

Complimentary admission is offered to members of Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art.

An opening reception for the show is Nov. 10.
