My regular readers know I love the arts community in Lake
Charles. The artists here
love to share their work with the general public. Never is this more true and
evident than in the Spring and Fall Art Walks. Twice a year, downtown
galleries, museums, and businesses that support the arts open their doors on a
Friday evening for a giant arts-oriented open house. It’s a fun party
atmosphere. Several blocks of Ryan
Street are closed to vehicle traffic for the festivities. Many of the
establishments offer hors d’oeuvres and refreshing adult beverages.
One of my many favorite local artists is Imogene Dewey. Love
her watercolors. You can see more of her work here.
I also love watercolorist Sue Zimmerman’s work. She was indoors at
Old City Hall. It was very crowded there and she was talking to a bunch of
people and I didn’t get a chance to say Hi or take any photos. Just as well – I
always gush and embarrass myself. Check out her website here.
The Art Walks are also great opportunities for new artists
to meet the public and showcase their wares. This is my sweet friend Mischelle
Jasken. I love the way her shirt matches the glazes on her exquisite pottery.
Even the flowers and landscaping in Lake Charles are colorful
works of art.
