Become a Mary C. Partner!

Made up of creative entrepreneurs, these partners provide and teach a diverse set of programs, put on original events, and are our consultants when needed. We also partner with larger groups as well, such as the Ocean Springs Art Association or the Mississippi Gulf Coast Gem & Mineral Club.
