We are proud of our community’s support of our mission to nurture, strengthen, and enrich lives through creativity—for folks of all ages and backgrounds. One way you can help us achieve this year after year is by attending a Fine Wine & Dine fundraiser! Bring a friend or a loved one to enjoy a four-course steak dinner with wine pairings expertly curated to accompany each course. While supplies last, you may even purchase a bottle (or three) of your favorite wine to enjoy at home! The night “winds down” with a lively auction of pieces donated by local artists. Tickets are $125 per guest. All proceeds go directly to supporting Zigler Art Museum.

On International Women’s Day, we’re thrilled to induct artist Heather Sportsman to our ZAMily of talented exhibitors. Her body of work is a poignant examination of the power of inner strength; weathering both spiritual and societal storms through her faith, the result is a powerful portrait of what it means to endure life’s trials and triumphs. This is a show about growth, reflection, pride, and peace. Assured Expectation officially opens Thursday, March 14th at 6pm with a special reception where we will be joined by @h.sportsmanart, but you can see her work TODAY at ZAM! Visit Jennings City Hall Monday through Saturday from 10am-4pm.

Some people make art; others become the art. 😜 Swipe to see Miss Jessica and Bailey’s reenactment of our painting of the week, Little Mother! Little Mother is by American oil painter Charles Sprague Pearce (1851-1914). One of the original titles of this painting was Repose, and it was exhibited in Munich, Germany in 1883. Pearce drew a picture of the painting for an article in “The Art Amateur” magazine in 1883. The caption read “Bebe et Su Sour-Souvenir du Mide,” which translates to “Baby and Sister-Memory of Midi.” #arthistory #oilpainting #19thcentury #artmuseum #ziglerartmuseum
