Featuring over 600 works of art, the Sarah Gillespie Museum of Art is largely regarded as the most extensive and comprehensive art collections to have been achieved by Mississippians in the twentieth century. The museum is located in the William Carey University, which is no stranger to art as it is also home to the Lucile Parker Gallery, and is named after one of the university’s most generous art donors Miss Gillespie. At this museum, visitors can see a fantastic range of works in various mediums like oil, pencil, watercolor, batik, lithograph, ink, pen, and block print. Of the many artists represented by this museum, some notable artists include Walter Anderson, Kate Freeman Clark, Theora Hamblett, and Karle Wolfe.
