Abita Springs and the surrounding areas, with their serene natural landscapes, provide ample inspiration for artists who paint "en plain air," or outdoors in the open air. To celebrate their work, the Abita Springs Trailhead Museum hosts an annual exhibition of around seventy-five recent paintings of Louisiana landscapes by local artists. Some of these works of art are so new, the paint is still drying upon arrival at the Trailhead Museum, which receives 30% of the proceeds from every painting sold. A lovely reception honoring the artists will take place on Friday, April 12 from 6 pm–9 pm, including free food, wine and Abita Beer. The exhibition will also be on display April 13 from 10 am–4 pm; and April 14 from 10 am–2 pm. Free. trailheadmuseum.org.
