Louisiana Culture in Art

Join art  &  film lecturer Prof. Val Franco for a look at the vibrant arts scene in contemporary Louisiana. Loosely Inspired by the setting of Brit Bennett’s newest novel, the Vanishing Half, we’ll focus on contemporary culture and its effects on the visual arts in Louisiana today, while we also take a peek inside the holdings of the New Orleans Museum of Art and its incredible outdoor sculpture garden. We’ll also turn the spotlight on the contemporary arts scene in New Orleans through artists like muralist Brandon Odums & abstract artist Mallory Page, multimedia artist Franco Alessandrini, and representational painter James Michalopoulos. We’ll even explore the Big East’s gallery scene as exemplified by the Stella Jones Gallery.
