Brooke Hoogendoorn at Contemporain

Contemporain Gallery will host an opening reception for highly collectible Lafayette artist, Brooke Hoogendoorn. Self-taught and with a startling eye for shape and color, Brooke creates modern, abstract works influenced by the landscape and culture of Acadiana. On April 13, the show opening coincides with 1010 Nic's Spring Fling, a musical, jaunty, and well-provisioned merchants' open house that spreads good cheer throughout the Nicholson Drive complex. Food, drink, music, art exhibits, and good company are all free from 5 pm–9 pm. Exhibit remains through May 19. contemporaingallery.com.
