Welcome, Mission Celebrate! A Burst of Joy Arrives at Main Street Collective
Celebration is found in the brightest hues of everyday moments, a favorite mug, a heartfelt card, a splash of art that sparks a smile. That’s the world of Mission Celebrate, where “happy art meets everyday joy,” as Leslie Gonce, its creative force, declares. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Mission Celebrate is now part of Main Street Collective, a collaboration that blends whimsy, community, and Mississippi-made talent in a joyful symphony.
Who Is Mission Celebrate?
At the heart of Mission Celebrate is Mississippi artist Leslie Gonce, based in Hattiesburg. From stationery and mugs to tea towels and pillows, her creations are bursting with playful, retro-modern flair. Each design carries a spark, transforming everyday objects into celebrations of life’s simple pleasures.
Her Instagram radiates this spirit. She frequently shares what she calls her “happy art,” reminding followers to celebrate the everyday, and even posts about surprise markdowns and her nook located on the first floor of the Hardware Building near The Pyrex Bus Shop.
Why This Partnership Matters
Spreading Everyday Joy
Mission Celebrate elevates routine spaces—mornings start brighter when your coffee cup carries confetti designs, and your kitchen feels cozier with a whimsical tea towel. This joyful creativity perfectly aligns with Main Street Collective’s mission of uplifting everyday life.
A Homegrown Story
All of Leslie’s art is created in Mississippi, channeling state pride and Southern charm through cheerful illustrations and hand-lettering. Bringing her into the Collective supports both authentic artistry and local business growth.
Shared Values of Joy & Connection
Mission Celebrate and Main Street Collective share a commitment to creative expression, authenticity, and fostering community, making this partnership not just fitting, but truly inspired.

Now within Main Street Collective, Mission Celebrate finds new audiences, collaborative opportunities, and a stronger voice to continue “drawing things” and sharing joy.
