RRAHC Begins Work on Bicentennial
Herons in the Hall

The River Region Arts & Humanities Council is gearing up for another fabulous Art Beaucoup! grant
fundraiser. This year it is planning a Bicentennial Celebration, Herons in the Hall, to help celebrate the two-
hundredth anniversaries of St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist Parishes. The event will be held at
San Francisco Plantation on Saturday, June 2 from 7-10 P.M.

RRAHC will be hosting a Judged Art Show on that evening. Judging the Art Show is renowned creator of the
Blue Dog, Louisiana artist George Rodrigue.  Taking from the idea of the painted fish in New Orleans, it is
doing its own version using a River Parish resident, the blue Heron.  Lowe’s on Jefferson Highway in New
Orleans and River Marine are underwriting the polyresin herons that will be painted by River Parish Notables
and area artists. After the event, the limited edition creations will be permanently displayed in the River
Parishes in homes, offices, and businesses. All funds raised will be used for RRAHC grant funding.  Since 2001,
the group has supported events throughout the area with over 300 grants, which include photography and art
exhibits, touring theatrical companies, original musical and stage productions, writing and art seminars, and a
heritage education festival.  Thousands of individuals participated in and have benefited from these events
