Art lovers shouldn’t miss out on the Jean Bragg Gallery, where plenty of
artists get the recognition they deserve in Louisiana along with many kinds of
pottery and other art pieces from the past. While many could easily take a
gander at everything that’s on sight, they could also purchase some of these
pieces if they so choose.
With a lot to unpack from a visit to an art museum consisting of works done by
Macon artists, New Orleans Artists, and Historical Louisiana Artists, it’d
almost be a disservice to the Jean Bragg Gallery to not take a look at its
glorious history, filled with so much creative talent to be inspired by. The
best part of it all is a chance to buy some of these pieces for a display at
home; it’s almost like having the honor of getting an important piece of
history passed down from one generation to the next!
The exhibit is great for anyone interested in knowing the history of art in
Louisiana, from knowing more about the paintings done by artists like Joe Adams
and Ellsworth Woodward to observing multiple kinds of pottery techniques used
in the late 1800s. The Jean Bragg Gallery also has a great selection of books
to read, whether they’re resource catalogs or essays written by
autobiographies. Getting tickets is fairly easy, so long as you go to the
Travis Jean website and sign up for an event relating to the Jean Bragg Gallery
that you want to check out.
