Revel patrons can see a special exhibit celebrating the life and art of Clementine

Hunter during the opening and closing weekends at The JR Performance Gallery. The exhibit includes some of her original work, a short documentary film, educational panels on loan from Melrose Plantation, as well as a rare collection of 25 posters from exhibits that have celebrated the art of Clementine Hunter. This will be the first time this rare collection of posters has ever been publicly displayed.

The award-winning film documentary, "Clementine Hunter's World," was shown this past spring at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African-American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., and will have limited screenings at JR Gallery, 624 Commerce St.

According to Christy Long, executive director of the Red River Revel, "In May of this year, the Louisiana Legislature passed a resolution designating Oct. 1 annually as ‘Clementine Hunter Day' in Louisiana. We think the Red River Revel Arts Festival is the perfect venue to host this inaugural celebration of the first Clementine Hunter Day in Louisiana."
