This month’s Second Saturday Market at the Museum is Saturday, Apr 9th from 9:00am to 1:00pm and, as always, is free and open to the public. This is always a wonderful opportunity to find unique art and specialty foods in a fun atmosphere at AMoA. Take advantage of the city’s trolley buses that will be running between the Museum Market, Kent House Herb Day and the Tom Peyton festival at First Methodist. AMoA’s musical guests that day will be the Family Playhouse cast members performing songs from musical “Evangeline” which opens the night of Artwalk on Friday, April 15th.
The story of Evangeline continues at AMoA with “George Rodrigue: Saga of the Acadians” opening that Friday, Apr 15th during Downtown ArtWalk which is free and open to the public. Come see the exhibit that night and pick up a coupon for $5.00 off your ticket to “Evangeline” the same night, or attend any performance of the musical and pick up a coupon for free entrance to see the exhibit anytime before it closes. The exhibit consists of 15 oil paintings by Louisiana icon George Rodrigue, and illustrates the hardships the Acadians encountered in order to preserve their identity following their exile from Canada to Louisiana.
At Museum Afterhours on Thursday, April 21st from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, enjoy original works by various musical guests in a relaxed coffeehouse atmosphere at AMoA’s Acoustic Concert Series with host, John Wakefield. Visit our website for current information at www.themuseum.org. AMoA Members always get in free for Afterhours events with general museum admission for all others.
Yoga in the Gallery continues on Tuesdays and Fridays and Catered Lunches resume inside the Clementine Café at Alexandria Museum of Art. The Truck was fun for the month of March but we’re bringing in back inside in April, every Wednesday from 11:00am to 1:30pm. See you at the Museum!
