Conrad Albrizo's "Industrial Louisiana" Mosaic

On Wednesday night, the Jefferson Parish Historical Commission and the Jefferson Historical Society of Louisiana celebrated the golden anniversary and restoration of “Industrial Louisiana,” a Conrad Albrizo mosaic. Also, there was recognition of 30th anniversary of the Jefferson Historical Society of Louisiana. The mosaic is located in the jury assembly room of the Thomas F. Donelon Courthouse located at 200 Derbigny Street in Old Gretna.

Jefferson Parish Government Center

Here's the beautiful new Jefferson Parish Government Center located in Old Gretna. I was prohibited from taking any pictures inside except for those in the jury room with the mural.

Gretna Art Walk

Saturday, May 12, was the most recent Gretna Art Walk in Old Gretna. This particular one was entitled “Spring Arts & Crafts Festival.” Artists and crafters participated in the outdoor show. They enjoyed live music during the day. At the German American Cultural Center there was a beer fest. At the other end of the exhibit, there was a trailer selling ice cream and snow cones.

Over the last two years the show has grown to include two blocks of booths. Below are my A-frame boards with my art.





Below are some of the other artists who participated in the exhibit.
