Continuing events

This month, Baton Rouge Gallery hosts 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. Are you craving some Christmas spirit? Right now at the LSU Museum of Art, you and your kids can be amazed by historic posters and photographs, enjoy exciting works of art, and see ferocious stuffed animals and amazing antique toys at the new exhibit, Under the Big Top. A fanciful exhibition on display throughout the holiday season, this exhibition highlights the magic and timelessness of the circus through the Museum’s spectacular collection of toys and fine art, and turn-of-the-century photos and circus posters on loan from a private collector.
