STAA's Annual Fall for Art Event!

St. Tammany Art Association’s annual Fall for Art is approaching fast! Enjoy live music, a sprawling art market and various art demonstrations and performances- all on beloved historic Columbia Street. The changing leaves, crisp air and cozy atmosphere are perfect inspiration for a Caravaggio-inspired painting palette, a warm watercolor landscape, or hours carving a relief block by the fire (or heater). Drop by Mo’s Art supply before the event to grab your favorite art supplies and then head out for some exciting fall fun!

Final Week Luba Zygarewicz Show at Good Children Gallery

Don’t miss the chance to see the beautiful and thought provoking installations of our customer and friend, Luba Zygarewicz, in New Orleans at Good Children Gallery. Congrats, Luba!

Artist Talk: Saturday, December 4, 3 pm
 Gallery Hours: Saturday and Sunday 12-5

 
Good Children Gallery is excited to present a solo exhibition by Luba Zygarewicz. 

"watermark" reflects on the invisible yet indelible imprint that marks our lives. Through a series of sculptural pieces that integrate water as a medium or byproduct, Zygarewicz also examines the imprint embedded in her work as she navigates across a range of materials including the debut of ‘meandering line’, an installation that archives 100 watermarks done as a form of meditation using ink on paper. 

It is in the repetition of a mark or the weaving of a line again and again, that the dialogue between material and hand evolves. In that liminal space, the work levitates in search of balance.
 If each day was a mark, what would your life look like?
 
­­“As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.”

John O’Donohoe

Good Children Gallery is open
Saturday 12 - 5 PM & Sunday 12 - 5 PM.
By appointment please call or text: (985) 789-4681
