The Gore Arts Complex at Mississippi College is located on the east side of campus in the old Clinton Middle School. Over the years, Dr. Gore drew floor plans showing how this space could be renovated for the MC studio art programs, even constructing a 3D model of the building and studios he saw so clearly in his mind’s eye.
The Gore Arts Complex and its community space give people a new and inspiring reason to visit our campus. This facility represents the latest chapter in MC’s long legacy of excellence in art programs and commitment to faith. Dr. Gore transformed lives through his art and his teaching, and MC will continue that legacy in this building that bears his name.”
— Dr. Blake Thompson, MC President
Every detail in the new space has been planned and designed to create art and engage the community. The space includes specific studios for painting, sculpture, papermaking, pastels, woodworking, and stagecraft. It also includes an outdoor, covered kiln and courtyard for firing ceramics. The new facility also features an auditorium suitable for large classes or as a gathering space for the MC and Clinton communities.
