The Fine Arts Gallery at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Jackson County Campus will present “Italian Prints from the Mississippi Museum of Art” exhibition through December 12.  This exhibition of more than 20 prints spans 400 years and includes works by Italian-born artists and by artists visiting Italy.

They focus on a variety of subjects, including angels, religion, architecture and nature. Other works on paper are by Italian-born artist Luigi Lucioni and American artists’ works of Italian scenes. The MMA exhibition is supported with funds provided by Entergy and the museum’s statewide Traveling Exhibition Endowment that is supported through significant private contributions matched by the National Endowment for the Arts.
