December Brown Bag Hosts Donald LeBlanc

November, 2006, Lafayette- The December Brown Bag Wednesday at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum will feature Donald LeBlanc at noon on Dec. 6.

LeBlanc, owner of Gallery 549, will conduct a lecture and gallery tour in conjunction with the current museum exhibition "Photorealist Paintings from the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Collection" and will address the importance of the camera to the variety of realism presented in the exhibition. Weather conditions, daylight, moonlight, reflections and human interaction are all captured on film to provide a specific model for the artists to work from.

The Brown Bag Lunch Program is held on the first Wednesday of every month at noon in the A. Hays Town Building at the Museum. This program offers a more expanded view and experience of current exhibitions and the arts through guest lectures, film presentations as well as guided walkthroughs of the exhibits.

Brown Bag Wednesdays are free and open to the public, and guests are encouraged to bring lunch and enjoy the experience of spending time learning more about the arts.

Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the Town Building on Girard Park Drive as well as behind the UL Foundation building. For additional information on current and upcoming Brown Bag Programs contact (337) 482-1370 or visit museum.louisiana.edu.
