Art exhibit featuring Lincoln Parish opens tonight

By Wesley Harris

As part of the Lincoln Parish Sesquicentennial Celebration, the community has been invited to an Opening Reception of the “Connective Captures of Lincoln Parish Art Show” tonight at the Ruston Visitors Center.

The show was curated by Creative Exchange, a Ruston art gallery and art supply store, and features pieces that incorporate Lincoln Parish in various ways. The eclectic collection of artwork captures the beauty, culture, and history of Lincoln Parish.


The parish, now in its 150th year of existence, was created by the Louisiana Legislature in 1873. The show will culminate a yearlong acknowledgement of the anniversary.

Visitors can stop by between 5-7 p.m. tonight, Dec. 19, to view the art show and enjoy refreshments provided by Experience Ruston and the Ruston-Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. The Visitor’s Center is located at 2111 North Trenton Street.

The art will be on view at the Visitors Center for the remainder of December.
