Community Arts Show Planned by Arts for All
Arts for All, which is an arts organization that fosters the arts in West Feliciana Parish, is sponsoring a community art show on the weekend of March 31-April 1. Anyone 18 years of age or older may enter one piece of visual art, which will be shown that weekend at Market Hall on Royal Street in St. Francisville. Since that is the weekend of the Garden Club's Spring Stroll, people will be able to view both area gardens and the art of local citizens.
According to Lynn Wood, immediate Past President of Arts for All, "We are excited about this show, primarily because we feel that there are artists out there in our parish who have not yet shown their work here, so it will be like discovering jewels among us! Please consider exhibiting in this show, whether you are a new artist, a 'closet' artist, or an artist well known to us-- this is truly a community art show."
Anyone who wishes to exhibit a piece of art should bring it by Market Hall on Friday, March 30 between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. or call 225-721-1296 for another time if these times are not convenient.
The art show and reception will be from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 31 and noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 1.
Area artists are encouraged to show a favorite piece of their art—sculpture, ceramics, two-dimensional visual art of all kinds--on this weekend. Arts for All President Rebecca Landry said, "This show continues a well-honored tradition. St. Francisville has supported and encouraged artists since John James Audubon's day. I hope that many area artists will participate in this show."
