It has functioned as a mirror of social values-asserting power\, legacy\, identity\, and aspi ration. As the cultural landscape of the United States has shifted\, so too has the definition of who gets seen\, how they are seen\, and by who m. The artists included - Vitus Shell\, Aron Belka\, and Gina Phillips - work in varied mediums and have unique processes\, but their work has a common thread\; their subjects defy the expected. Rather than portrayin g traditional icons of wealth or status\, the artists depict friends\, f amily\, and strangers.\n\n$5.00 Admission to the Museum.\n\n \;\n\nC ontact: Rosey Fontenot\n318-443-3458 | Rosey@themuseum.org URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.cityofalexandriala.com/events/amoa-contemporar y-portraiture-in-louisiana/2026-05-19/ UID:urn:uuid:46c7fb80-5415-4122-9606-92325022f57a-occurrence-675 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20261025T232154Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260519T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260519T160000 LOCATION:933 Second Street END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
