John K. Lawson at the West Baton Rouge Museum

West Baton Rouge Museum 845 North Jefferson Avenue, Port Allen, Louisiana 70767

In collage and poetry, artist John K. Lawson explores his relationship with the blues. The English-born artist has adopted Baton Rouge as home, and his vibrant collage portraits of the area's seminal bluesmen are currently on view at the West Baton Rouge Museum—fitting, as it's in the juke joints of Port Allen where the genre, free from blue laws, truly flourished. Don't miss three opportunities this month to meet Lawson at the museum and hear more from his singular perspective.

February 6: Poetry Reading. Noon. Free.

February 7: Collage Workshop with John K. Lawson. 6:30 pm–8:30 pm.

February 9: Meet Me at the Poet Tree: Lawson will lead a class of children and adults through kinetic activities designed to spark a poem. 10:30 am–noon.

All programs are free, but registration is required for February 7 and 9 at (225) 336-2422 ext. 200. westbatonrougemuseum.com.
