Whether you know art or simply know what you like, Mid City Merchants know you like White Light Night, so this year a White Light Night preview party has been added to the fall art hop. Proceeds will help fund the MCM’s art initiatives. Get a preview a week early of all the food, music and art that you’ll be able to enjoy on the night itself for $35 per person or $60 per couple. Plus, catch the unveiling of the White Light Night’s first commemorative poster. It all goes down tonight at Circa 1857. Also this weekend, the LSU Museum of Art opens its newest exhibition, Of People and Places: Contemporary Works from the JPMorgan Chase Collection on Sunday. Featuring art from 1963 to the present, the exhibit contains 42 paintings, pastels and sculptures created by established and emerging artists. Also, on Saturday, don’t miss the free Second Saturdays family day, “Detail Detectives.” Children and adults will conduct a scavenger hunt, looking for clues as to how the artist created their works. Take-and-make bags will be available for youngsters to create their own artwork at home. For more activities and events in and around the Capital Area, read 225 Select by clicking here.
