For Forum 35 President Jesse Hoggard, Art Melt has felt like a year-long event what with pinning down the date, finding the jurors and venue and going through 615 submissions.
“It’s a process that’s unique,” Hoggard says. “It’s been very fluid pretty much all the way through.”
Tonight, everyone’s hard work will be on display at the Louisiana State Museum as Art Melt hosts its preview party at 7 p.m. Tickets are $75, $50 for Forum 35 members. On Saturday, the exhibit will open at 5 p.m.
