Louisiana Craft Beer breweries will meet up once again in Alexandria, Louisiana to share their brews with you, and go head-to-head in multiple categories, and you pick the winners! Praised as one of the top beer events in Louisiana, our annual Craft Brews, BBQ, & Blues Summer fundraiser, featuring CENLA’s original Craft Beer competition, returns on August 17, 2019.
In addition to the annual September Competition, AMoA will be exhibiting the Rodrigue Scholarship Contest winners’ exhibition. Each year the Rodrigue Foundation holds an art competition for juniors and seniors in high school throughout the state. Students enter work based on a theme, which was Cosmos this year. The entries are judged by art professionals throughout the state, including AMoA’s curator, Megan Valentine, from almost 600 entries down to the 17 finalists.
Beginning July 5th, the Alexandria Museum of Art will showcase outstanding contemporary art from around the world for the 32nd year of our September Competition. Featuring pieces from all media, this exhibition features work of artists 18 and up throughout the country and beyond. The pieces on exhibit were selected by a guest juror from over 450 works with no information apart from the images of the artwork and very basic details about the piece itself. This year’s exhibition features work from 49 artists, 4 countries,
23 states, and 49 cities.
