Historic City Hall’s New Exhibitions

On the first floor, retired McNeese State University Professor of Art Lisa Reinauer presents a solo exhibition titled “A Certain Slant of Light.” The exhibition features more than 30 small acrylic-on-panel paintings that explore subjects from the artist’s immediate surroundings, with an emphasis on both natural and artificial light.

“Painting is really all about light,” said Reinauer. “While my work ranges from still-life to landscape to interiors, it is all based on a love for painting nature, color and light.”

On the second floor, two additional exhibitions open simultaneously.

Gallery by the Lake presents “Scenes of Southwest Louisiana,” featuring works by artists Debbie Lavergne and Pat Craft, highlighting familiar landscapes and regional character.

Additionally, the Black Heritage Gallery will showcase the work of Louisiana artist Ciara Sanders, whose exhibition brings a contemporary perspective to the space.

Where: 1001 Ryan St.

Hours: Tues-Sat (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.)

Tip: The Charlestown Farmers Market is open on Bilbo Street behind the center every Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon.
