The tour has consisted of five schools and four public presentations including the Mississippi Childrens Museum and Bayou Teche Museum, which will be the site of Saturday’s event.
The artwork will also feature the works of Mignon Wolfe.
The event was slated to take place in tandem with New Iberia’s Fall ArtWalk, but the ArtWalk was cancelled for this weekend. The exhibition will still be taking place, however.
It will also be an opportunity for event-goers to see the museum’s Doc Voorhies Wing, which will be opening up for the event.
The tour of the exhibition kicked off Oct. 15 in Louisville, Mississippi, and has made stops in Meridian, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula, and will make its final stop in New Iberia.
Rodrigue is an internationally acclaimed artist known for his Blue Dog paintings. The theme for the exhibition will focus on “Blue Dog in Space” and show the iconic image in space-related scenes.
