The “Art Snake Road Show” will highlight Manistee County artists from the Onekama and Arcadia areas. The exhibit’s name is a play on the artists’ annual “Art Snake” summer event in which members of the public snake their way round Portage Lake to view artwork at various locations.

Artists in the show include Jamey Barnard, Susan Barnard, Jef Bourgeau, Mike Grant, Kristine Harvey, Andrew Jagniecki, Judy Jashinsky, Phil Joseph, Susan Joseph and Les Scruggs.

“Les Scruggs and I had a two-person show there many years ago,” Barnard said of LACA. “We are looking forward to introducing Art Snake artists to the people of Ludington.”

The exhibit will include a mix of mediums ⸺ paintings, drawings, textiles, sculptural work and printmaking ⸺ in a variety of styles. Barnard said there will be “plenty of new works” from the artists.

A public reception to meet the artists will take place 5-8 p.m., Friday, May 5, in the gallery.

“Attending the artist reception is a wonderful opportunity for community members to take in the exhibit as well as a chance to interact with the artists,” LACA Executive Director Andrew Skinner said.

LACA exhibit hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday; and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday.  For more information, call 231-845-2787 or go to: ludingtonartscenter.org
