This is Mother’s Day weekend, so treat “Mom” to a night out and to a fine piece of artwork. Mid City businesses will sponsor original, local art. Some will be well known local artists and some will showcase new talent. One is sure to see various mediums and styles of art from works of sculptors, painters, jewelry designers, photographers and more. The artist will be present on the night of the event at the business that is showcasing his or her work. This year’s participating businesses include Absolutely Genius, Aladdin’s Lamp Antiques, Artists Inside Circa 1857, Beehive, Ladybugs& Dragonflys, Bistro Byronz, Brew-Ha-Ha, Caffery Gallery, Chef Don Bergeron Enterprises-Mid City Market, Circa 1857, Corks N Canvas, Culinary Productions, Elizabethan Gallery, Esom Art, Gallery Bohemia, Gallery N, Jewelry Design Shop, La Carreta Mexican Cuisine, Louisiana Office Supply, Main Artery Gallery, Monjunis Italian Café’ & Grocery, Mosaic Garden, Rotolo’s Pizzeria, Rue Cou Cou, Sabai Jewelry Gallery, Stafford Tile & Stone, Superior Grill, The Beverage Store, The Red Shoes and Victoria’s Toy Station. Mid City is truly the premier art and design district of the city. Its area spans from I-10 to Lobdell Boulevard and from Claycut/Broussard to Main Street. This year proceeds from the art hop will help purchase public art for this area of Baton Rouge. Again, it’s an evening you will not want to miss. For all the people who want to have fun and see what local talent we have here in the Capital City, mark your calendars now. For all the true art connoisseurs who want to add a new piece of art to their collection, as well as those of you who just enjoy shopping, “Hot Art, Cool Nights” is an event you will want to experience. For out of town art lovers, spend the weekend so you can come back on Saturday to take in what you didn’t have a chance to see the night before. Shuttle transportation will be available or you may just want to stroll along Government Street to take in the art. We hope to see you on Friday, May 7, between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. For more information, please call Liz Walker at 225-924-6437 or email lizgalry@bellsouth.net.
