"Jerry Davenport did a Second Line through the whole Artspace building today with a group of 27 Seniors from Saline High School. They got dressed and everything. Had a Blast!! The guests loved it also," said SRAC education director Julia Foley. Davenport, who was raised in New Orleans' ninth ward, is one of a group of artists who are guiding the school and weekend tours for students during the Faces of Katrina exhibit.
The artists for this weekend are Karen Wendt from 10-3 and Tony Neumann from 1-5, says Foley, who adds that "ArtSpace is open from 10-6, but the Fun-A-Torium is only open from 10-5."
Among the schools touring or scheduled to tour the exhibit are Caddo Magnet High, Strong High, Arkansas, Vivian Middle, Youree Drive Middle, Saline High, Fairpark High School, Bossier Parish Technical School, Broadmoor Middle School, Mansfield Elementary,
