"The Eclectic Mind of Chuck R. Wright"
Covington Trainhead Museum
19 North New Hampshire, Covington.
Wednesdays and Fridays 10am-2pm ,
Saturdays 10am-4pm and Sundays noon-4pm
Chuck Wright is a prolific artist and musician. His paintings reflect the passions of his life: musicians, classic film characters and city life. This energetic artist works with oils and acrylics on board and are then mounted on old aluminum silkscreen frames or wooden frames constructed by the artist himself. He often uses other found objects that become a part of his artistic expression. Having realized as early as childhood what has now become his life long passion and career, Chuck continues to amaze us with his original, contemporary pieces ever stretching the boundaries of artistic expression. This show entitled "The Eclectic Mind of Chuck R. Wright" can be viewed at the Covington Trailhead Museum Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am-2pm, Saturdays from 10am -4pm and Sundays from noon-4pm from July 2nd through August 2nd. For more info contact STAA 985-892-8650.

Join the St. Tammany Art Association in honoring the work of Charles Sidney August Fuhrmann on September 11th from 6-9pm. The artwork will be on view September 11th through October 1st.
