I recently received news that my work has been selected for the 2014 Art Melt to be held at Capitol Park Museum (formerly Louisiana State Museum) in Baton Rouge.  Surprisingly, I think this may be the 10th time my work has been in the Art Melt (all but the very first).  This year’s jurors are Ben Thompson, Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville; Katie Pfohl, Curator at LSU Museum of Art; and Eric Robert Dallimore, co-owner of the Leon Gallery, Denver, Colorado. 

The Preview Party will be held July 18th from 7-10pm.  The official opening (free to the public) will be July 19th from 5-9pm.

Opening Night: Louisiana Voices

I still can’t get over the amazing turnout at the Hilliard Museum the other night.  The opening reception for Louisiana Voices: Six Artists Speak to Us was this past Friday.  The exhibit looks great and I will be going back just to finish looking at everything.  It was so busy and packed that I did not get to check out all the art.  I do have photos to share of the event opening and will be posting more to my website soon.  The exhibit is up now through December 8th at the Paul & Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in Lafayette, LA.  Also of note: an exhibition panel discussion will be held on September 29th from 2-4pm.
