Baton Rouge Gallery Inc

the mission of baton rouge gallery - center for contemporary art ("brg") is to advance local and national contemporary artists while engaging louisiana's capital city through unique cultural programming. what began in the mid-1960s as an artist cooperative of eight artists has become a central fixture of baton rouge's arts community and home to 60 artist members who explore a vast array of subject matter through many different media. today the organization - thanks to its donors, members, and a 30+ year partnership with brec (the parks & recreation commission of east baton rouge) - provides experiences with contemporary art for more than 18,000 visitors annually. every month, the gallery offers a new exhibition, typically featuring three to four louisiana-based artists. these exhibitions are open to the public, free of charge, during gallery hours (tue-sun, 12 - 6p.m.). they are also accentuated by the popular 'first wednesday' opening receptions and articulate artist talk series.
