“All One People” by Christopher Inglis Stebly. Created as a Mississippi bicentennial project, Chris’ original piece has been installed as one solid aluminum sculpture that beautifully tells the story of the past, present & future of the Ocean Springs community. Light refreshments from Eat, Drink, Love, with a brief program & informal reception. This project was a joint effort of the Historic Ocean Springs Association and the Roost Boutique Hotel, with support from the Mississippi Humanities Council. The public, private, non-profit partnership has been recognized for incorporating original art in property development. Plans are underway to support sharing Stebly’s inspiring art in other forms in the community & beyond. The project team also produced a free color “Art Matters in Ocean Springs” printed guide map, which will be released at the event, and will be available through the Chamber and many other locations in town.

The Roost, Boutique Hotel
Located in the artsy Mississippi Gulf Coast town of Ocean Springs, this six-room property is the very definition of a boutique hotel. The town is anchored by the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and Shearwater Pottery, so it’s fitting that the Roost would pay homage to the artist with a namesake guest room. The Shearwater Suite, with a master bedroom and full kitchen, is awash in creamy beach-chic decor and opulent furnishings that make you feel as if you’re weekending at a wealthy but completely unpretentious friend’s summer home. There’s a loftlike common outdoor space equipped with oversize chairs, communal tables, and stunning chandeliers—ideal for sipping wine and doing what Southerners do best: making new friends. roostoceansprings.com
