SUMMARY:Closing Celebration of Where We Live Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The photo exhibit, Where We Live: Opelousas Neighborhoods, closes on May 2 with a big celebration.\nThe Opelousas Neighborhoods exhibit showcases photographs contributed by residents of Opelousas, featuring everyday scenes, historic spaces, traditions, and moments of community life. Contributions represent a wide range of neighborhoods including North End, the Hill, the Oil Mill, and multiple other beloved sections of the city. Each image reflects a piece of personal perspective — a front porch gathering, a street corner conversation, a driveway basketball game— collectively forming a portrait of how residents experience the place they call home.\nOn May 2, we will celebrate with an Open Mic, conversations and food. At 1 p.m., participants are invited to bring home their own images. At that time, we will also announce images that have been selected to be displayed as public art on a billboard.\n_____________________________\n10:30 a.m. to 11:30: Open Mic\nParticipants are invited to share poems, songs and personal stories about life in Opelousas.\n11:30—12:30 p.m.: Gathering of ideas of possible future projects.\n1—1:30 Recognition of Billboard Selections and other comments.\n1:30—3 p.m.: Informal conversations and invitation to bring art works home.\nThe Opelousas Museum is located at 315 N Main St., Opelousas, LA 70570.\nFMI: Patrice Melnick 337-948-2589; museum@cityofopelousas.com ( mailto:museum@cityofopelousas.com )\n
