The collaboration with Kelwood Contemporary Art offers an opportunity for the organization's members to present work that pushes beyond traditional expectations. Participating artists hail from across Louisiana — stretching from Alexandria and Avoyelles Parish through Baton Rouge to St. Tammany Parish. There will be an opening reception from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 1, and a closing reception from noon to 5 p.m. Dec. 14.
