Baton Rouge Gallery opening

Tonight, the Baton Rouge Gallery will host a “First Wednesday” Opening Reception to introduce the latest works by four of its artist members: Jenny Authement, Mary Lee Eggart, Eleanor Owen Kerr and Elizabeth Cherry Owen. Gallery visitors will be treated to Jenny Authement’s sculptural wooden relief carvings exploring a biblical parable from the Book of Matthew, Mary Lee Eggart’s intricate representations of the “whiteness” of egrets, Eleanor Owen Kerr’s black and white photographic look at the Mississippi River’s levee and Elizabeth Cherry Owen’s textiles which look at her own experiences as a Southerner who relocated to Maine seven years ago. The exhibit runs through Dec. 29. batonrougegallery.org
