2011 Big Easel Preview Part 1


I haven't done a blog post in nearly six months! Life has been crazy, busy, interesting, different....all of that to be explained in upcoming blog posts. But I know that doing regular posts on art and design goings-on in the South is what I should be doing. I know that because I have missed it.

For now, The Big Easel.....my baby. An event that I began chairing three years ago that has grown into something really special, the 2011 Big Easel is this Saturday, May 7th, from 10 am to 5 pm in Town Square in River Ranch in
Lafayette, LA.

With sixty-three artists showing, there is something for everyone...all price points, all styles, all mediums. As we gear up for the Preview Party which is Friday night, the artists have been emailing me images of their new work.

I have selected a few as a special sneak peek into the excellent work that will be on display this year.
