"Delta Dawn"
Courtesy
Together with the exhibition “Move Me,” CAMxNew Orleans: “Delta Dawn” represents an exchange between the Alamo City and the Big Easy. Whereas New Orleans-based curator Amy Mackie picked eight San Antonio artists for “Move Me,” “Delta Dawn” is a takeover of Fl!ght staged by Good Children Gallery — a “bellwether for artistic endeavors” in NOLA’s St. Claude Arts District. Nodding to a 1972 tune popularized by native Texan Tanya Tucker, “Delta Dawn” unites seven artists, including abstract painter Brian Guidry and Srdjan Loncar, who covers his styrofoam sculptures in photographic mosaics. Free, 7-10pm, Fl!ght Gallery, 134 Blue Star, 872-2586, contemporaryartmonth.com. — Bryan Rindfuss
