Christmas at Ouachita River Art Gallery!

ORAG OFFERS CHRISTMAS GIFT ITEMS IN DECEMBER

Among the co-op members in the Ouachita River Art Gallery are painters, potters, photographers, woodworkers and jewelry makers. In December, this varied group of artists will offer special Christmas gift items as well as their usual artwork in the Ouachita River Art Gallery on Antique Alley in West Monroe, Louisiana. Sales of original works are tax exempt under the Louisiana Cultural District, so visitors not only support local artists but also save by not having to pay sales taxes when shopping in the co-op’s gallery.

With the year coming to an end, the Ouachita River Art Gallery is grateful to the local community for the continued support of the arts in our area and our galleries on Antique Alley in West Monroe and OIB Plaza in Monroe. The Ouachita River Art Gallery members is looking forward to being able to continue in these rough economic times by providing not only the best of what they have to offer in artwork to the public but by also by being a viable member of the local art scene in lending their efforts to other art groups in the area.

The Ouachita River Art Gallery, 308 Trenton Street, West Monroe, Louisiana invites you to come see the wide variety of local and regional items available. When you shop at your local gallery, you not only help our economy by keeping your money in the area, but you also save on taxes and shipping . The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm. In December, the gallery will open on Sundays from 1 pm to 5 pm. Admission is free. Paintings by gallery members can also be seen at ORAG’s extension gallery located in the lobby of Ouachita Independent Bank/Bankers Mortgage Plaza at 18th and Louisville in Monroe, Louisiana.
