The Baton Rouge Gallery at Nicholls State University exhibit is on display at the Ameen Art Gallery through September 27. It displays artwork from artists who are members of the Baton Rouge Gallery. Veronique Day, assistant professor of fine arts, is in charge of this exhibit.

Day has a friend who is a member of the Baton Rouge Gallery, and she originally asked her friend to create the artwork for the exhibit. Her friend did not have time to create pieces for the gallery, so she presented the idea to the entire Baton Rouge Gallery, and about 20 people submitted work for it.

Day said the only limitation for the artwork was size because the pieces had to be transported by car.

“I did not want to (have) a theme,” Day said. “I wanted a variety of art that represents a good spectrum of media.”

Jacqueline Dee Parker submitted a collage on paper titled “September 18, 1962,” which includes clippings from newspapers.

Charles Barbier entered “Enclosed Engagement,” which is an acrylic painting of the ancient world.

Kathleen LeMoine submitted an acrylic painting on paper called “Hurricane Light,” which shows a beach setting in the wake of a hurricane.

Phyllis Lear entered a mixed media piece called “Grandmother’s Glasses.” This artwork has pieces of old feminine clothing and an aged letter, along with a drawing of glasses.

Amy James entered a photograph called “Ruby Hula-hoop.” This photo shows a young girl playing with Hula-hoops, while her mother watches in the yard.

Ed Smith chose to create an oil painting called “False Paradise,” which shows a scene in the jungle.

Leanne McClurg entered three porcelain pieces. “Bear Dish,” “Goat Dish” and “Teapot.”

Brian Kelley entered a silkscreen and inkjet piece called “Ship of Fools.” This piece has jungle scenery and is centered around a picture of President George Bush.

“I think the exhibit is a pretty good show,” Day said. “There (is) a good variety of topics.
