First Wednesday Opening
At the September installment of the Baton Rouge Gallery‘s monthly First Wednesday Opening receptions, the gallery will unveil the new work of three local artists: David DuBose, Paulo Dufour and Randell Henry.
DuBose produces original prints, paintings and mixed media works on paper, drawing from personal, family and political histories. Dufour, meanwhile, works in a very different medium, sculpting unique glass vessels that invoke notions of humanity and mythology. Lastly, Henry produces improvisational mixed media collage paintings à la Pablo Picasso.
The reception will take place Wednesday, Sept. 5, 6-9 p.m. The event is free. The gallery is at 1515 Dalrymple Drive.
