Amanda Winstead Fine Art is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition "The Orleans Gallery: 65 Years Later." Presenting the work of eight of the artists of this groundbreaking artist cooperative, which opened at 527 Royal Street in 1956, this exhibition will focus on some of the unsung artists of the Orleans Gallery. Included will be over 30 works by Franklin Adams, Katherine Choy, Marilyn Conrad, Lin Emery, Shearly Grode, Robert Helmer, Jim Steg, and Mildred Wohl.

The exhibition opens at 400 Julia St., New Orleans, LA from 6-8 pm on Saturday, December 3rd.

The Orleans Gallery was founded in 1956 by a small group of New Orleans artists. A non-profit, community-oriented gallery, its objective was to foster contemporary art in New Orleans and to make other cities aware of New Orleans as a creative art and cultural center. The gallery displayed and sold the works of its permanent exhibiting artists. It also exhibited the works of guest artists, student artists, and artists of national and international renown, until its closing in 1972.
