The Itawamba Art Association was established to provide a forum for the promotion of visual arts; for the preservation of the finest artistic traditions by means of exhibiting works and to provide friendly exchanges among painters, photographers, sculptors, potters and those interested in the fine arts who live and work in Itawamba County, MS.

We would like to continue to promote the Arts in our area and if you would like your work on this webpage please email for more information.
