Union Museum of History and Art is proud to announce it will exhibit 47 original works by the famed Louisiana primitive artist Clementine Hunter from January 25 to March 5. A celebratory opening reception will be held Saturday, Jan. 25, at 1:30 p.m., hosted by the local Grambling State University Alumni group. DeAnna Ellsworth will perform a brief concert and Jackie Hill will portray the artist. The public is cordially invited.
The artworks will be on loan from Tom Whitehead of Natchitoches, who was a personal friend of Hunter starting in the 1960s until her death in 1988. He is co-author of the well-known biography, Clementine Hunter: Her Life and Art.
