Barbier and Friends at Baton Rouge Gallery

The Baton Rouge Gallery - a BREC facility, will feature the work of local artists Charles Barbier (he of the many murals), encaustic master Clark Derbes, Wylie Sofia Garcia, and David Scott Smith in June. Since BRG exhibitions traditionally get underway with a "First Wednesday" opening reception during which participating artists reveal techniques, process, and inspirations in person, come to the gallery on June 3 from 7 pm–9 pm to get the full effect. Free of charge. 1515 Dalrymple Drive in City Park. Gallery hours are noon–6 pm Tuesday–Sunday. (225) 383-1470 or batonrougegallery.org.
