    Historic Mardi Gras Throws Exhibition.

    THIS EXHIBITION IS A SPECIAL EVENT CURATED BY YUKI NORTHINGTON for The Arts, Hancock County.

    JANUARY 10 THRU FEBRUARY 10, 2024.

    Also includes Children's Shoe Box Floats! Come see!! Open Tuesday thru Saturday, 9am-4:30pm.

      A Brief History of Mardi Gras Throws from The Historic New Orleans Collection:

      In early-19th-century New Orleans, processions of ladies en route to Carnival balls were said to have tossed sweets and bonbons, as well as provocative smiles, to gentlemen along the route. Bands of youths would throw flour (and, later, nastier substances, such as rotten fruit, plaster pellets, urine, and caustic lime) at revelers on Fat Tuesday. One newspaper in the 1840s reported on Ash Wednesday that the streets looked as if snow had fallen. 

      The first reports of items being thrown as part of the official parades we know today came in the early 1870s with the second procession of the Twelfth Night Revelers, according to Carnival historian Errol Laborde. Following their “Mother Goose’s Tea Party”–themed parade, a costumed Santa distributed gifts from his bag.

      In the early 20th century, the Rex Organization began the tradition of tossing throws to the crowd from each float. Strings of hand-strung glass beads quickly became the desired souvenir. According to a master’s thesis written by the late Lissa Capo, who was THNOC’s in-house expert on Carnival throws, the earliest surviving examples are Japanese mercury glass beads, made during WWII. Czechoslovakian crystals were in vogue next, through the 1960s, when they were superseded by hand-strung plastic necklaces. With the arrival of plastic beads molded directly onto polyester strings, the throws became bigger, longer, showier, and more customizable to each krewe. Abundant strings of oversized beads became the new gold standard, beloved by viewers. And the krewes responded, throwing more and more—and more.

      The early 20th century marked the arrival of painted walnuts and, later, painted coconuts from the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club. Today the painted, glittered, and feathered coconuts are passionately sought—something of a holy grail for even experienced parade-goers.

      The Zulu coconut influenced other krewes and walking clubs to create their own signature throws. In 2001, a member in the Krewe of Muses—using the Zulu coconut as inspiration—introduced their tradition of presenting glittered, decorated high-heeled shoes as the prized throw of their parade. Each one is intended to be a unique work of art for the lucky recipient. Other krewes have thrown bedazzled oyster shells, brassieres, wine corks, goblets, grails, eyeglasses, toilet scrubbers, eggs, and more. There seems to be little a Carnival-loving New Orleanian won’t encrust with glitter! And, on the receiving end, there’s little a dedicated parade-goer won’t do to secure one of these treasures—screaming, dancing, and making a general fool of one’s self. Such is the magic of the season.

      It's Back! The next STORY SLAM, Sunday, Jan 14, 5 - 7p

      Story SLAM at The Arts is a live storytelling "Open Mic" type event in the vein of poetry slams and was originally organized by The Moth, a non-profit literary society from New York City, since 2001. Storytellers (slammers) have 5 minutes each to tell a story, based on a theme chosen for the event. January's theme is"I could have died!"  

      1. For Story Slammers, your story must be about YOU!

      2. Stories must be told, not read in five minutes (No note cards)

      3. Again, the theme for January is......."I could have died!"

      4. We will limit each SLAM to ten storytellers. 

      5. Register only if you want to tell a story. Listeners/audience members do not need to register.

      6. BYOB and snacks

      (note to parents: some stories may contain adult content)

      While our event is not affiliated with nor endorsed by THE MOTH, we are their idea for our own fun. And we do have fun. Who knows? Maybe we will eventually host a live MOTH broadcast! 

      All slammers will have a chance at our FABULOUS door prizes to be given away!

      5-DAY WORKSHOP WITH HOLLY ROBERTS

      Description of the workshop
      This class will explore as many different aspects of constructing the collage as possible with paint acting as the integrating element.  By using water based paint over and under the constructed collages, students will learn not only how to build their collages, but also how to paint both supportively and expressively.  By understanding how the different media work together, each student will be able to understand what process works best in finding his/her own creative voice.  We will cover transfers, gluing techniques, compatibility of media, and different ways of working with water based paints.  Materials will include but not be limited to: paint, photographs, found objects, organic material, and drywall mud.

      Appropriate for ages 16 thru adults

      Workshop Fee Members: $950
      Workshop Fee Non-Members: $995
      $20 supply fee INCLUDED IN ABOVE FEES INCLUDES: Gesso, drywall compound, contact paper, presentation paper, parchment paper and sandpaper for each student.

      ·      Paynes Gray

      (Really, just bring enough colors so that you have lots of choices; this is a basic list if you don’t already have paints)

      (personally, I like the liquid paints rather than the tube paints)

      BRUSHES:

      5-10 artists’ brushes, from very large to very small, including any soft watercolor or
      Japanese brushes
      1” house paint brush
      1”, 3” & 4” house paint brush
      (the house paint brushes should be inexpensive NATURAL bristle brushes found in hardware stores-most commonly made in china and not costing over $2.00 per brush - the more brushes the better on these) 
      Foam brushes, different sizes, small to large (JEN foam brushes are the best. The ones with the plastic T going into the foam part fall apart quickly)
      Again, bring whatever brushes you have

      MISCELLANEOUS:

      • Scissors or x-acto knife, whichever you prefer to cut with.
      • Disposable latex gloves
      • Plastic credit cards (no longer in use)

        Paper (100lb or heavier)

        Canvas panels boards are okay but not great.  Tend to weaken under abuse

        Any rigid surface but NO mat board or foam core

        polymer medium (gloss or matte), AKA gloss or matte medium or gel medium although not as good as the more liquid polymer mediums

        COLLAGE MATERIALS

        Photographs, color or black and white

        Prints from your inkjet or laser printer

        Colors from laser prints are not permanent, but work best for some transfers. Copies from Kinko’s type places work well) or using your own laser Printer

        Images from magazines or newspapers

        Any photographic information of any kind that you want to bring in-if it’s important make a copy (or several) so you won’t lose the original. 20lb copy paper-the regular stuff-works well.

        Anything that you would like to work with that you think you can adhere to a surface. If you have an inkling of wanting to use something, then bring it.

        Any drawings, prints, paintings of your own that you would like to incorporate into your image

        For the most part we aren’t concerned with the quality of your photo, but rather with your ability to cut it or transfer it and use it in your image

        NON-TRADITIONAL MATERIALS:

        • Scrapers
        • Putty knives
        • Sponges

        Your Instructor is renowned artist Holly Roberts.

        Bring your lanterns - homemade or purchased, battery powered only- to this fun playful meetup as we light up the LONGEST NIGHT of the year on December 21- the Winter Solstice. .

        On Dec. 21, at 6pm, we will meet at The ARTS at 405 Blaize Avenue, light up our lanterns and have  our second annual HANDMADE PARADE over to Washington, then down to the picnic area at the end of Washington Avenue in Bay St. Louis. 

        Parade with us along the beach then sit by the bonfire and sing familiar tunes, or just enjoy the night. Or, meet us at the bonfire!

        What to bring:

        1. Any type Lantern (battery-operated only, prefer handmade)
        2. Folding chair or blanket (drop off at the beach area prior to parade)
        3. Beverage of your choice
        4. Snack to share if you like

        This is a family-friendly event. No dogs please! Friends are always welcome!

        We are having lantern-making workshops - for kids and adults.

        Registration is required for parade participation as we need to let city know our number  of walkers. 

        "Civic play connects people to place."
