These days, it seems like there’s a new festival in Baton Rouge every weekend. That’s why Art Melt, Forum 35’s beloved local showcase of Louisiana artists, is bringing it back to its roots.
In years past, the Art Melt festivities have included live music, performances, an arts market and food trucks in addition to the art. But this year, organization leaders wanted to focus more on the juried exhibit and showcasing local artists.
