From 9 am-4 pm in Town Square at River Ranch, 63 artists from all over the South (plus a couple from Provincetown, MA) will be showing their paintings, photography, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, and glassware. This is an incredible way to see art by so much talent in one place for one day only so don't miss it! Whether it is a Mother's Day gift that is needed or a small piece of art to add to your collection or a major statement piece for a large wall, you can find it at The BIg Easel! The committee and I juried extra hard this year. I hope that you will see that in the range of work and caliber of artists that are showing at The Big Easel this year. With face painting and a "balloon man" there for children...food available from Romacelli and City Club for lunch...entertainment by a trio from the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra and singer Aaron Paille....The Big Easel is a fun day for everyone!
