Chimneyville Arts Festival

During the second weekend of November, the Chimneyville Arts Festival celebrates our artisans while providing patrons a central place to procure new pieces for their own collections and purchase meaningful gifts.

The 2025 Chimneyville Arts Festival was held at the Bill Waller Craft Center in Ridgeland, where guests enjoyed a fantastic show of Mississippi fine crafts, a Preview Party, and Festival Sip n’ Shop.

Creative Craft Camps

Each summer, the MS Craft Center hosts multiple sessions of Creative Craft Camp to introduce children to the joy of making things with their hands.

Expert members of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi immerse campers in a fun, creative, and hands-on experience, teaching the techniques and history of their craft through creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art to take home and cherish for years to come.
