Paintings and graphics by artist Paul Garner at Karpeles Museum, Shreveport; reception, with guitar, Sat, July 8, 1 - 3 pm

Paul Garner is one of the hottest young artists in the region. An award-winning graduate of Caddo Magnet High School's art program, he has made his name in the public arena with humorous, hairy posters that advertise his band, the Noids. Those who've enjoyed his posters will see another dimension of the artist in the paintings to be displayed at Karpeles Document Museum, near the corner of Centenary & King's Hwy.

Garner's dad is Dan Garner, a highly-accomplished artist who is adept at music, songwriting, video, cartooning, performance art and graphics.

The reception will feature classical guitar music by the estimable Mark Griffith on Sat, 1 - 3 pm, on July 8.

Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum: 3201 Centenary Blvd.
Open Tu - Th, 10 am to 4 pm.
861-7615.
