The Shreveport Regional Arts Council and Artspace present “POP!” art from Bubble Wrap. POP! is comprised of commissioned artworks, sculptural installations, fashion, kitsch, jewelry and accessories, and culinary art that defies imagination. The entire first floor, mezzanine, and outer façade has become an installation – with interactive areas of Bubble Wrap® cushioning. The exhibit is free.
I have had the pleasure of seeing this fantastic exhibit. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this. Amazing pieces of art, funky fashion (so cute you want to wear it), a big inflatable teddy bear, and a cool chandelier are just some of the pieces you will see - all made of Bubble Wrap. You can even re-live some of your youth and pop, squish and jump on the Bubble Wrap. That was one of the highlights of touring this fresh exhibit for me. There is also a video available that shows how the artists came up with ideas and brought their pieces to life, start to finish.
Don’t miss this. Get down to Artspace, located at 710 Texas Street in downtown Shreveport, and see the fun for yourself. While you’re there, visit the Café for some delicious food.
Artspace is open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Monday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Wednesday; 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Thursday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday; and noon-5:30 p.m., Saturday.
