This premier spring art event is one of the top in the city as attested by the thousands of art lovers that jam into the participating businesses. This is Mother’s Day weekend, so treat “Mom” to a night out and to a fine piece of artwork. Mid City is truly the premier art and design district of the city. Its area spans from South 14th to Jefferson Highway and from Claycut to Florida Boulevard. This year proceeds from the art hop will help purchase public art for this area of Baton Rouge. For out of town art lovers, spend the weekend so you can come back on Saturday to take in what you didn’t have a chance to see the night before. Shuttle transportation will be available, or you may just want to stroll along Government Street to take in the art.
