Hot Art, Cool Nights: Spring Edition
From the riot of commercial spaces that attends any trip along Government Street emerges a uniting force that lends the part of town known as Mid City its heart and soul. It's art, and it's back, en masse, when the Baton Rouge Mid City Merchants present the spring progressive art hop "Hot Art, Cool Nights" in dozens of shops and restaurants throughout the neighborhood for a thirteenth year running. Thousands come out to enjoy exhibits of original, local art by well-known artists and new talents, in media including painting, sculpture, jewelry design, art photography, and more. Participating artists set up in traditional and unexpected locations, to introduce their work and chin-wag with passers-by. A nice feature of the Hop is the presence of free shuttles that trundle around, ferrying folks from stop to stop; so park somewhere and proceed accordingly. A creative, exuberant way to start your weekend! 6 pm–10 pm. (225) 954-7991 or midcitymerchants.org.
