As their name implies, Preserve Louisiana is dedicated to preserving the unique culture of our state. Their efforts include this exhibition of seventeen of John K. Lawson's oil, collage, and mixed-media paintings; created between when Lawson lost twenty-five years of artwork when his home and studio flooded following Katrina and today. Themes of Louisiana's past and culture will be evident throughout the virtual and in-person exhibit, which includes Lawon's portrait of Huey P. Long to commemorate the ninetieth anniversary of the construction of the Old Governor's Mansion. A closing reception featuring a poetry reading and music by DJ Preservation will take place virtually from the artist's studio at 3 pm.
