“I’m a retired art teacher,” said Dugat. “So art is my life .. without art, my life is flat and uninspired.”
It’s all in good fun, but for a reason.

GHS board member Margarete Tober says the fundraiser will help sustain the Gulfport History Museum and reopening costs for the The Gulfport Arts Center, a resource for artists.
“The museum was closed after the fire, and then with COVID-19 prolonging things, we really are in need of donations now more than ever,” Tober said. The fire was a porch flame that destroyed a portion of the wooden, 100-year-old structure on Labor Day, 2018. The museum was shut down from then until summer of 2019 and shuttered again during most of 2020 due to COVID-19. In 2019, GHS assumed the lease for the Gulfport Arts Center, which needed extensive interior work.
The mini tree auction takes place at Stella’s on Dec. 3 at 7 p.m.
