The Hammond Regional Arts Center (HRAC) has launched the 9th Marjorie Morrison Sculpture Biennial, a regional showcase curated by Jeff Mickey of Southeastern Louisiana University. The exhibition features contemporary works from eleven artists, including Maggie McConnell, Mary Elkins, and Dale Newkirk. The event opened with a dedicated members' mixer followed by a public reception, and the sculptures will remain on display through May 30.
This biennial serves as a tribute to the legacy of Marjorie Morrison, a founding member of the HRAC and a prominent arts advocate in Louisiana. By highlighting regional talent and encouraging community membership, the exhibition reinforces the center's mission to foster cultural growth and sustain local artistic programming in the Hammond area.
