A Tiffany stained glass window was commissioned and placed in the the new library of the University of Mississippi in 1896 to honour the men of Co. A, the University Greys, composed in part of University of Mississippi students who enlisted for service in the Confederate army. This building, now called Ventress Hall and housing the offices of the School of Liberal Arts, has recently undergone extensive renovations. The window was restored and remains intact.

An opera was commissioned by Chancellor of the University of Mississippi Dr. John D. Williams in 1954. The opera was based upon an historical account of The Greys by Maud Morrow Brown. The libretto was written by Zoe Lund Schiller and music composed by Arthur Kreutz. The University Greys was dedicated to Chancellor Williams and was first performed by the Department of Music at the University of Mississippi on 15 March, 1954. The first telecast of the opera was by WMCTV out of Memphis, Tennessee on 8 May, 1954.

Military Miniature Artist Gregg Heilers has sculpted a figure of an 11th Mississippi infantry man. This figure depicts a sergeant of the 11th in the early uniform of the regiment that is trimmed in red.

More recently, noted Civil War artist Dale Gallon memorialised the 11th Mississippi in his painting "Brian's Farm". This painting depicts the left flank of Confederates in the famous Pickett-Trimble-Pettigrew Charge at Gettysburg on 3 July 1983.

Mr. Gallon has also painted Imperishable Glory. This work was commissioned by the 11th Mississippi Memorial Association. Sale of this print, through the association, will help raise funds for the monument at Gettysburg.
