Squeeze into the Shaw Center for Art Melt

Art Melt. It’s a phrase now common to the Baton Rouge vernacular. After five years, this year’s sixth annual multimedia art show is set to be the biggest. Expect familiar artists and fresh blood as more than 75 pieces will be on display at Brunner Gallery. Across downtown, dozes of other groups are piggybacking on Art Melt, such as Boys & Girls Club artwork at Lyceum Dean, roller derby girls and bellydancers along Third Street.
