The 2007 Art
in the Pass festival is a very special event for Pass Christian.
This is the first festival since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf
Coast and devastated Pass Christian. We are all excited to
have this wonderful event back in Pass Christian and hope that
everyone will join us March 31 and April 1, 2007.
Art in the Pass
is a two-day outdoor fine arts festival held at Pass Christian’s War
Memorial Park located at the corner of Scenic Dr. and Fleitas Ave.
overlooking the beach. Artists are juried to find a group of
talented artists in a variety of mediums including painting,
photography, print making, sculpture, pottery, fiber arts, glass
arts, woodworking and jewelry. Artists display and sell their work
to the public.
Art in the Pass
is a wonderful opportunity for artists to display and sell their
artwork on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Festival celebrates and
promotes fine arts in the community. Proceeds from the festival
benefit the Dot Hector Memorial Art Scholarship and other art
related programs deemed appropriate by the Art in the Pass
Committee.
Art in the Pass

Entertainment...
BOBBY ALLISON
This will be Bobby Allison's fourth year headlining and emceeing Art
in the Pass. His soothing voice and diverse collection of songs has
been a crowd-pleaser and the festival is happy to welcome him back.
Bobby Allison, singer and
songwriter, has enjoyed a professional career that has spanned over
30 years. Like many performers, Bobby "paid his dues" at various
venues. In 1988, his hard work was rewarded with recording credits
and a contract with CBS/Epic records as a result of winning the
"True Value Country Showdown," to date, the worlds largest Country
Music Talent Contest! "Baby It's Because of You" co/written with
his wife Ernestine, was released by Epic Records in February 1988
and received national airplay, much along the Gulf Coast.
