“Mixed-Media Photographs and glass sculpture at Arthur Roger Gallery,” Gambit
In December, New Orleans is brimming with art events including Prospect.2, photo shows at PhotoNOLA’s array of gallery shows and the architecture expo DesCours, presented by the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
