PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT
--
The "Oil is History" photography
series of Louise Marler will be on display at the Arts Council
of Southeast Missouri in Cape Girardeau for the month of May.
Louise's photographs were taken at the former Hoffman property
in Ste. Genevieve, well known by locals as a beautiful auto
graveyard, with rows of old cars from the 1930's through
1950's. How can a bunch of rusty old cars be beautiful? What
do they have to teach us? Check out Louise's stunning
photographs and you'll be won over. The exhibit is open
9:00-5:00 during the week, 10:00 - 4:00 on Saturday. For more
