Art for All Lake Providence held a community art day - the first for Art for All's Art Club - at Lakeshore Family Homes over the weekend. Virgil Brandon Sr., a professional artist who grew up in Lake Providence, and his wife, Charlene, visited from Monroe to teach the group some art skills. The group shows off a large logo Brandon carved on which the participants added handprints. A child traces their hand before creating a 2D drawing that looks 3D. A child paints his hand before making his impression on the Art for All logo. Brandon assists people as they create gelli prints using cut greenery from outside, a project coordinated by Sara Beth Howard and Wanda Manning of Art for All. Programs of Art for All Lake Providence are supported by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council as administered by the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council. Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment of the Arts.
