Friday, April 24 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, April 25 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks!: Nine Baton Rouge area families have loaned major pieces from their private collections to the LSU Museum of Art. They are displayed in an exhibition called “Living with Art.” The artists who created the pieces are among Louisiana and our nation’s finest including Ida Kohlmeyer, Frank Hayden, Louise Comfort Tiffany, Lin Emery, Clementine Hunter, Andy Warhol, and George Dunbar. The museum’s Executive Director, Daniel E. Stetson, gives us a tour of the collection.
