The Sixth Annual Grand Isle Juried Exhibition/April 12 - 20, 2008

Lake Pontchartrain, 11/07 --copyright Matthew White

Matthew White was selected to show some of his photography in the 6th Annual Grand Isle , La. Juried Exhibition. The exhibition theme, “Water Consciousness” will spotlight works relating the natural beauty and potential loss of the island and the surrounding wetlands. The goal of the Exhibition is to raise awareness of Louisiana’s coastal erosion through an artist’s eye and to encourage the creation and preservation of images of this culture and its disappearing habitat for future generations. Works selected will be on exhibit at the Grand Isle Community Center, Hwy. 1, Grand Isle, Louisiana April 12 - 20. A reception and awards presentation will be held on April 20 2008.
