Fonville Winans' Opening Reception

Lt. Gov. Nungesser, LA State Museums, and the Friends of the Capitol Park Museum invite you to join them for the reception of the newest exhibition opening at the Capitol Park Museum, A Colorful World of Black & White: Fonville Winans, Tuesday, July 14. A gifted, amiable and inquisitive photographer, Theodore "Fonville" Winans had an intuitive eye for composition and an innate ability to connect with his subjects, revealing both their personality and a sense of place. Whether photographing state elected officials, generations of Baton Rouge brides or the backroads and bayous of south Louisiana during the early 1930's, Fonville Winans created a magnificent and monochromatic record of the colorful and complex culture that are the people of our beautiful state. 5 pm–7 pm. The reception, free to attend, includes refreshments and access to the exhibition. Social distancing guidelines will be adhered to and guests are encouraged to wear masks. Party under our outdoor pavilion and check out the newest exhibit! Complimentary adult beverages provided. Food truck vendors available on-site. louisianastatemuseum.org/museum/capitol-park-museum.
