Meander Mindset Reception & Book Release

2023-02-01T11:58:38-06:00

In partnership with The Acadiana Center for the Arts, the St. Landry Parish Visitor Center located just outside Opelousas opens its doors for ArtSpark grant recipients to display their work in dynamic exhibits.

On display throughout the month of February is Kristie Cornell and Marla Kristicevich’s project Meander Mindset: Bayou Teche. The project is the culmination of these two artists’ efforts to create a conversation between people and the environment through the exploration of waterways. Together they meandered the Teche collecting organic samples, and making photographs, textural rubbings, audio recordings, and eco sculptures along the waterway. These collected materials and works create a visual narrative of the artists’ findings and encourage the viewer to reevaluate their connection to the natural world and to take the time to observe and appreciate their surroundings.

February 25th at 1 pm, is your chance to meet Kristie Cornell and Marla Kristicevich right here at the center. The reception will also serve as their book release party for the publication printed in conjunction with their exhibit.
