Experience Art Melt – Don’t miss Louisiana’s biggest juried art exhibit Saturday.

Don’t miss Louisiana’s biggest juried art exhibit Saturday. Art Melt will take place at the Capitol Park Museum downtown 5 p.m.-9 p.m. Outdoor festivities, including the Arts Marketplace, will run until 10 p.m. The free show, open to Louisiana artists only, offers a great opportunity for local talent to showcase their work and compete for cash prizes for first, second and third places, respectively. Additionally, the Forum 35 Award will be given to a work that will be featured on next year’s commemorative poster. This show also gives the Baton Rouge community a chance to experience the best fine art, music and performing arts that Louisiana has to offer. This year’s musical performers are SpeakEasy, The Bedlamville Triflers and Baby Bee. A preview party kicks off Friday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $75 and $50 for Forum 35 members. The preview party will feature food from Ruffino’s Catering at De La Ronde Hall. For more information, visit artmelt.org. Read 225‘s preview here.
