A dedicated committee of Arts Council of Pointe Coupee board members and local artists has been working for the past nine months in preparation for the third Treasures of Pointe Coupee community art exhibit.   The event is scheduled for Friday, June 1 – Sunday June 3 at the Poydras Center 500 West Main Street New Roads.  This year’s exhibit will feature two and three dimensional artwork of 94 local and regional artists.  148 pieces have been registered for the show; some pieces are for sale and others are for display only. 

The event begins on Friday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. with a free reception for artists and the community.  A silent auction will be held on Friday evening with proceeds benefiting future Treasures events and Calling All Artists, an initiative of the Arts Council.

Artwork will be displayed throughout the first floor of the Poydras Center.  Well known Baton Rouge artist Kathy Stone will curate the show and last year’s curator Della Storms will serve as judge.  Awards will include Best in Show, Judge’s Choice and Honorable Mention.
