On Art Rocks! Friday, June 19, at 8:30 pm and Saturday, June 20, at 5:30 pm, meet Monroe painter Don Cincone, whose studies in fine art began as an eighth grader through correspondence courses with great American painters, including Norman Rockwell. Now, it’s Cincone's work that is sought after worldwide. Minnesota designer, Moira Bateman shows us how she uses native plants and natural materials to sculpt one-of-a-kind dresses. This week’s Louisiana Treasure is St. Helena Catholic Church in Amite, including its rare sculpture garden. Father Mark Beard explains why the artwork found there is important to the faith.
