New Orleans artist Andrew Lamar Hopkins channels folk art legend Clementine Hunter in new exhibit

The article profiles New Orleans artist Andrew Lamar Hopkins and his new exhibition "Her Way, His Way" at the Orleans Gallery on Julia Street. The show pairs Hopkins' contemporary folk-inspired works with paintings by the late, legendary Louisiana folk artist Clementine Hunter, who died in 1988. Hopkins, now 48, draws directly from Hunter's subjects—such as wildflower bouquets and pecan harvesting scenes—creating a dialogue between two artists who never met. The piece also traces Hopkins' career trajectory from a self-taught history nerd in Mobile, Alabama, to a rising star with works displayed in Venice during the Venice Biennale.

Harrison Brothers Store to celebrate America's 250th with art exhibit

Harrison Brothers Hardware Store, a historic fixture in downtown Huntsville, Alabama, is celebrating America's 250th birthday with an art exhibition featuring works by local artists. The open call for submissions, organized by the Historic Huntsville Foundation which owns the store, resulted in a collection of paintings that share a common theme of home and belonging, rather than overt patriotic symbols. The exhibit also includes the historic American signature quilt, stitched with notable 20th-century names.
