In the 2011 show, 153 artists entered 479 works of art in a variety of mediums. Many those submitting work were from outside Louisiana.
Nationally recognized artist, Sam Corso, will be judge and juror for this year’s show which will be held at the beautiful Louisiana State Archive Building in Baton Rouge, LA. The show will open and be available for the public to view from Dec. 3 until Jan. 30, 2013 with an awards ceremony and reception to be held on Jan. 4, 2013. No commission charged on sales.
