About The Firehouse Gallery The VAA is fortunate to have as its headquarters one of Vicksburg's first firehouses. This building has been designated as a Mississippi Landmark by the Department of Archives and History. The Old Constitution Firehouse is believed by the Archives and History Department to be the most intact Victorian fire station in the state. It was built in 1870 as the second house for the city's first volunteer fire company and later housed the first paid company. The building retains the central stall, barracks room, cupola, and bell which was used to call the volunteers. The presence of the fire station made the Openwood - Main Street area one of the most desirable residential districts in Vicksburg before 1876. |
About the VAA... The Vicksburg Art Association is a non-profit organization established in 1961. The VAA is open not only to artists, but to all individuals and businesses with an interest in art and a desire to support art in our community. From September through May the VAA hosts programs on a wide variety of art-related subjects the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM. Throughout the year hands-on workshops are offered in different media giving both adults and young people the opportunity to learn from regional artists. Exhibitions of art are held allowing local and regional artists to display their works. These shows are open for public viewing and sales. On occasion tributes are sponsored to recognize local artists who have proven themselves to be a community treasure through their lifetime dedication to art. |
