On Art Rocks! Friday, May 8 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, May 9 at 5:30 pm, meet Louisiana jeweler Christine DesJardins, who finds inspiration in the form of intricate seed pods for her striking signature designs. See how New York City shaped the art of Edward Hopper. In Florida, an interactive theater experience explores the subject of “responsibility” through ancient Sumerian mythology. And photographer Dorothea Lange is profiled by her granddaughter in film. A Louisiana Treasure was put on display in Baton Rouge – the image of the former emperor, faithfully recorded in Napoleon’s Death Mask.
