Though this is not my usual musical recommendation for the weekend, I think we can all use a Champagne Stroll and some art on a Saturday evening.
Isabelle Jacopin is the artist who painted the image that I used on the cover of my latest book, Up Front and Center: New Orleans Music at the End of the 20th Century. Thanks to everyone who bought copies over the past year.
Her work is very evocative of the New Orleans milieu. She has painted lots of musicians, second line parades and other events in New Orleans. Her latest artistic directional shift is represented by the work below. I think I like this style even better than the watercolor work she was doing when I first met her.
Objets Trouves is located at 3956 Magazine St and the event is scheduled from 4-9 PM on Saturday.
