A Visit from the Museum

I had some great visitors at the gallery today.  My good friend and travel
buddy and his wife (Mr. Bob Carroll and Dolly) brought the new
curator from the Alexandria Museum of Art to visit today.

Her name is Alyssa Fridgen.  She is originally from Minnesota, but has
lived in New York Ciry for several years.  She is excited about being in
central Louisiana, and meeting artists in the area.  We had a nice
time visiting, and they all enjoyed lunch in the cafe.
It would be great to be included in some kind of event at the museum
in the near future!

Alexandria Museum of Art-Time to Visit

If you live in central Louisiana, you might want

to make a trip by the Alexandria Museum of Art.

I often lament that I live in an area with very little

culture! But the city of Alexandria is making some

real strides toward becoming an art center. And the

museum leads that charge.

They host a variety of events and exhibitions. On the

second Saturday of the month, (which is tomorrow),

they have an arts and crafts sale on the grounds.

They host a weekly lunch in

the Clementine Cafe every Wednesday from 11-1:30.

And there are ever changing exhibitions; the work seen

above is from the current show: Jacob Lawrence

"Toussaint L"Ouverture Series" . There is another

show: Hunt Slonem's "On the Bayou" through March 5.

There is always something interesting going on...check

out the website for more info: www.themuseum.org

I am gathering comments for the upcoming Valentine

heart art giveaway...will draw some names on Monday,

and ship some art to the winners!
