A Retrospective: Celebrating The Life + Work Of Edmund Williamson

His paintings and sketches grace the walls of homes, museums and businesses across the country. His sculptures are anchoring landmarks in our regional public spaces. His legacy is woven into the very heart of the Region 8 arts community. There just wasn't anyone quite like Edmund Williamson. The Arts Council is thrilled to showcase the work of Region 8 artist and arts community giant Edmund Williamson in a retrospective exhibition here at The Gallery at 118 Cotton Street in Downtown West Monroe from June 6th - July 3rd. The exhibition will feature works on loan from private collectors, friends and family across the Region. A virtual gallery will be housed on the Arts Council's website in the coming months that will feature these works, as well as other works from across the country that were unable to be featured in the live exhibition. Opening reception is Thursday June 6th, 2024 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, in conjunction with the Downtown Gallery Crawl. There will be a time of sharing at 6:30pm as we hear from some of those who knew Edmund best. *portrait by Brad Arender
