Try Downtown Gallery Night – when hundreds of residents flock downtown as galleries and businesses host everything from art exhibitions and live demonstrations to music. If you’re lucky enough to be here in June you’ll find yourself surrounded by the Fiesta of Five Flags – celebrating the five flags of the countries that have ruled over the city with parties, parades, sand castle contests and treasure hunts!

ART EXHIBITION: THE ART OF ED CLARK
    Ed Clark is an abstract painter whose work has drawn accolades internationally for five decades. Born in the Storyville section of New Orleans in 1926, Ed Clark studied at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1947 to 1951 and L’Academie de la Grande Chaumiére in Paris in 1952. He is the first painter credited with working on a shaped canvas, an innovation that influenced contemporary art through the 1950s and 1960s. He is also known for his powerful brush stroke, large-scale canvases, and especially, his use of color, which has earned him the title “Abstract Impressionist.” Clark experiments with inventive techniques such as his progressive use of the push broom. His work continues to evolve and astonish.

    This exhibition is organized by the GR N’Namdi Gallery in New York.
