The Lucille Parker Art Gallery is an art gallery in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It is located inside and as a part of the William Carey University.
Opened in December 1990, the Lucille Parker Art Gallery was named after Lucille Parker, a well known Mississippi artist famous for her botanical drawings. Naming the gallery for her was also as a way of commemorating her efforts of organizing the art department of the university and for serving as its chairperson from 1974 to 1983.
The Lucille Parker art Gallery is composed of 141 art works by Parker. There are also 17 paintings by Marie Hull, given to the university by Miss Parker from her personal collection. Other local and national artists are also exhibited on the gallery from time to time.
