Spring arts season opens today

by Mary Tutwiler

Downtown’s spring arts season kicks off at noon today with Les Freres Michot opening the Bach Lunch Series. Listen to traditional music from the talented Michot family and buy a box lunch; proceeds benefit the Lafayette Natural History Museum and Planetarium. Tonight, "Driving Miss Daisy" continues at Cite Des Arts. Saturday, galleries, restaurants and businesses throw open their doors for the monthly ArtWalk. Check out Dominick Cross’s photo exhibit, “In Tune with Musicians in Black & White” at Frederick Hair Studio; a show of mandalas created in arts workshops at Acadiana Outreach titled “Mosaic Mandalas”; and a one-night showing of the best of local print and outdoor advertising at IberiaBank, which precedes the annual ADDY awards event later that evening. The same night, Grant Street Dance Hall hosts The Art Grinder, featuring outsider forms like illustration and graphic design.
