OOMA’s Annual Membership Drive ends on September 1st. This is the last chance to take advantage of the 20% discount on membership levels available on our website. Here are 5 great reasons to become a museum member today!

Invitations to museum events

Members get the first chance to opt-in to our mailing lists for breaking news about our opening receptions and after-hours events ranging from free and fun community events on the museum grounds, to extravagant parties off-campus, to our annual Horn Island Expedition (a 4-day camping expedition dedicated to tapping into the artistic spirit by communing with nature and fellow artists).

Free admission to our Annual Member Party

Members are invited as VIPs to our annual member party with a plus one for a friend. This year, the Mad Potter Block Party was a huge hit that involved free BBQ plates, artsy activities, and our very own George Ohr riding into our Mississippi Sound Welcome Center on an Indian Motorcycle – just as he would have back in his prime!

10% Discount in the Museum Store

The Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art store sells the work of local ceramicists and artists from across the Southeastern United States. There is always something new showing up on the store shelves and as a member, you’ll receive 10% off your orders online and in the store. Our online selection will be expanding to include art, books, and clothing that you can have shipped straight to your house if you don’t have the time to stop in while you’re visiting.

10% Discount on Classes & Workshops

The museum’s City of Biloxi Center for Ceramics features classes for all ages! As a member, you’ll take advantage of 10% off all classes and workshops available in our world-class pottery studio featuring 10+ pottery wheels, 2 electric kilns, and a full-size gas kiln capable of firings up to cone 10.

10% Facility Event Rentals

Members get first dibs and a 10% discount on facility event rental reservations. Make your next party, wedding, bridal shower, work convention or meeting into the talk of the town when you bring your guests to the Frank Gehry-designed campus of the Ohr-O’Keefe museum of art!

 

Those are just 5 of the many reasons to become a member at OOMA. Along with those reasons you’ll become a supporter and an integral part of a community of support for the legacy of George Ohr and our art community as a whole on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Get your membership today and become a part of The Mad Potter Society. Join in on the madness now!
