Some 100 historic political posters from local races for public offices will be on display by St. Mary Landmarks during Franklin’s Art Walk Saturday. A few of them are pictured above. They will be displayed at the former Teche Ridge building on Main Street from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. rather than in front of Shadowlawn due to the possibility of inclement weather. Some notable candidates represented include Chester Baudoin, Malcolm Blakesley, Josh McDaniel Sr., E.A. “Shine” Fouquier, Carl and Joe Foulcard, Oray Rogers, Buck Shaw and many more.
There are more than 20 artists featured this year in the following mediums: handmade accessories, recycled art, drawing, mixed media, oil painting, photography, sculpture, photography, silk flower arrangements, acrylic, watercolor and fiber arts.
Art can be found at these venues on downtown Main Street: Chez Hope, the Lamp Post, Merle Norman, Floors Etc., Meyer’s Shoe Store, the Fad Newsstand and Main St. Café. Art also can be seen on Willow Street at Todd Art Gallery and Argus Spa. Art venues on East Main Street include the David Stiel Agency, Scelfo’s Insurance and Company 55.
There are some returning artists and some new entries. Some artists will have pieces for sale, and others will just display their work. Each artist’s work is unique and demonstrates the creativity that is right here in our area.
Be sure to look for the gold fleur-de-lis with the purple accent. These will be placed at or near the art venues.
Techeland Arts Council will host Une Assemblée de Connaisseurs d’Art (A Gathering of Art Connoisseurs) from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lamp Post, located at the corner of Jackson and Main streets. Techeland Arts Council will share its purpose, people, pictures and pieces of its production No Hitchin’.
