Art Rocks: Mia Kaplan
to
Statewide Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Sculpture by Mia Kaplan.
On Art Rocks! Friday, February 22 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, February 23 at 5:30 pm, hosts visit with Mia Kaplan, painter and sculptor from St. Tammany Parish whose work is driven by her interest in transformational qualities and patterns found in nature, especially in the marshes and swamps of her hometown. Viewers will discover how notions of death and vanity intersect at a fashion exhibition inside the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, Florida. California concert pianist Lara Downes celebrates the legacy of the great American composer Leonard Bernstein, and hosts will take you to a professional development class in Colorado that demonstrates to teachers how to integrate art and creativity into all school subjects.
