Movies & Music on the Lawn goes 'Black & White to the Future'
On Saturday, May 26, Baton Rouge Gallery’s (“BRG”) beloved summer film series, Movies & Music on the Lawn, returns to kick off its 2012 lineup with the silent cinematic epic, Metropolis, set to a never-before-heard score by one of Baton Rouge’s most popular electronic musicians, Matt Cee. The film will be shown on a towering inflatable screen located on the lawn behind BRG inside BREC’s historic City Park. As always, the screening begins at 8 p.m. (or sundown – whichever comes last) and the $5 price of admission includes unlimited free popcorn.
The theme of this year’s Movies & Music on the Lawn series, “Black and White to the Future,” will include silent-era films focusing on futuristic societies, inter-planetary expeditions, time travel and more. Representing a Movies & Music on the Lawn first, six different musical acts will perform never-before-heard scores during the series’ six-month duration, a different one for each event.

ARTiculate Artist Talks - What the Artist Was Thinking, Straight from the Artist's Mouth
Each month at Baton Rouge Gallery we bring you the very best in local contemporary art with artist members who work in a bevy of media and touch on a wide array of subjects. We know that sometimes you wish the artist was standing right next to you so that you could turn to them and ask them about the inspirations, techniques and processes that made the work in front of you come to life. If you find yourself in that situation, we invite you to join us for one of our monthly ARTiculate Artist Talks.
These informal gallery talks give you the chance to hear - straight from the artist’s mouth - all about the inspirations behind their work while also asking questions and sharing what you see. ARTiculate Artist Talks typically take place at 4 p.m. on the Sunday that follows each exhibition’s First Wednesday Opening Reception.
If you've missed any recent ARTiculate events, you can catch up on them - in HD - on Baton Rouge Gallery's YouTube Channel.
