Curator Rose Courville selects the work of eight Louisiana artists for

“Environs/Examined”. In order to ground ourselves in this unstable

environment of broken economy, new political leadership, and the state of

reconstruction, one grasps for aspects of life that are familiar. The artists

presented in Environs/Examined create work that examines their

relationship with unique landscapes and societal structures and the broader

concepts of regeneration and hybrid elements in our environment.

The opening will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2008 from 6:00 to 9:00

PM. Exhibition is open to the public Wed – Sun 11:00-6:00 PM through

January 18, 2008.

Second Floor Gallery Space: George Marks, Anne Boudreau, Michael Eble,

Michel Varisco, Wylie Sofia Garcia, Cynthia Scott, Jeremiah Ariaz. Second
