The West Baton Rouge Museum celebrates the opening of its newest exhibition, Angela Gregory: Monuments & Architectural Commissions with a reception on Friday, August 23, 2024, from   6-8 PM. Enjoy the latest iteration of Gregory’s work, view a sculpting demonstration by Artist and Sculptor, Aliah James, and delight in a reading, “Reminiscences of Miss Angela Gregory” by Deborah Luke who studied under Gregory. 

On view through August 24, 2025, Angela Gregory: Monuments & Architectural Commissions is the third in a series titled Angela Gregory: Doyenne of Louisiana Sculpture. Guest curated by Elizabeth Chubbuck Weinstein, the project marks the most comprehensive look at the artist’s art and life to date. Angela Gregory (1903-1990) is best known for her many architectural commissions made for important buildings such as the Louisiana State Capitol, and for her three monuments, one of them in Port Allen.    On view are plaster maquettes, models, molds, and finished bronzes as well as drawings selected from private collections and area museums, including the West Baton Rouge Historical Association. Rarely shown to the public, together these artworks demonstrate Angela Gregory’s sensitive handling of portraiture, technical skill, and art-making process.
