What is art made of?

Next, go behind the scenes with New Orleans artist Monica Zeringue for a look at her current exhibition, Absence & Presence: The Moons of Monica Zeringue.

Along the way, preview an excerpt from local dance company Of Moving Colors’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, featuring live music by violist and composer Christian Frederickson.

Also open for viewing will be A Work in Process: Paintings by Gustave Blache III and It’s Academic: A Hands-On Art Experience.
