The Lake Charles art scene
lights up Sept. 25 as venues
across the city open their doors
for the annual Gallery Promenade. Art spaces, galleries
and museums will unveil new
exhibits and featured artists in a
cooperative art walk that includes everything from painting
and music to Elvis and haircuts.
Gallery Promenade is an annual celebration of the talented
Lake Area art community and
the businesses that support it
year-round. An art movement is
gaining momentum in this city,
and Promenade is an awesome
way to experience this talent and
beauty firsthand, said Jody Taylor, project coordinator for the
Arts Council. Art isnt the only
reason to attend, though. Some
stops have special features like
the Gallery By the Lakes Take
a Selfie With Elvis, live music at
Exposure magazine and Stellar
Beans, musical numbers from
upcoming productions at ACTS
Theatre, costumes and set pieces
at Little Theatre, and pottery-
