A couple of weekends ago I visited the Baton Rouge Arts Market downtown. The arts market is apart of the Red Stick Farmers market that they have every weekend, but the art is only the first Saturday of every month. It was surprisingly really interesting and all of the artists I met were really cool. Throughout the market they have all kinds of art such as jewelery, stationary, pottery, quilts, glassware, and so much more.
I had to interview artists at the market for my art history paper. The two artists I met were Sid Gale and Diane Lewis. Lewis weaves baskets from pine needles and Gale make recycled art out of "junk". As I talked to them it was really cool to hear their stories and their passion for the art they create. I really enjoyed the Arts Market it was a good way to spend my Saturday morning.
