Love For The Arts Guild Luncheon

In honor of the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation’s 25-year historical journey, the popular Arts Guild Luncheon titled "Love for the Arts"  returns on February 19, 2020. Hosted at the Emerald Grande, Emerald Ballroom from 11:30 a.m. –1 p.m., the Arts Guild Luncheon will feature acclaimed guest speaker, Wendy Rodrigue, presenting “The Life & Legacy Tour of George Rodrigue.” This event is sponsored in part by Emerald Grande at HarborWalk Village.

The George Rodrigue Life & Legacy Program inspires audiences with the life and art of George Rodrigue (1944-2013), explaining his vision by showing how one person can overcome obstacles to achieve their dreams, while also making a positive difference in the world. Within each piece of Rodrigue’s artwork, audiences will find common elements, including the distinctive Rodrigue Oak, the Cajun people, the “famed” Blue Dog as well as flowers, suns, butterflies, and even hurricanes. The enlightening program will feature many works from Rodrigue’s private collection.
