let’s use our words

Joshua Chambers - CM 6 Visual Winner

Panels with cryptic messages, a wall of ABC’s, and a chimpanzee in distress are all things to be seen in this mainspace exhibition. This showing of Joshua Chambers’ most recent works captivated audiences with its symbolism and promise of a secret message waiting to be decoded.

Don’t Look Away

Katie Bickham - CM 6 Literary Winner

Poet Katie Bickham presents five never-before-seen poems displayed alongside illustrated representations commissioned by Bickham from Northwest Louisiana Artists Jazmin Jernigan, Kelly McDade, Lilly Thompson, Susan Abney and Paige Powell.

A distance Nearer home

Melanie Parent

Photographer Melanie Parent is searching for home. Not the home she lives in now, but the home of her memories. She is looking for what is lost.

Getting there

Julie Crews

Getting There is a very different solo show for Julie Crews, whose previous exhibitions have often included the “things” of her everyday life as a mother of five—children’s toys, dum dum suckers or a rack of clothes from a shopping trip. Intimate glimpses into her personal life! This is an exhibition dominated by portraits and the landscapes or the roads that lead to them.
