This year’s exhibition, In Tribute: Celebrating the Art of Kit, Annie, and Doug, honors the enduring legacy and luminous spirit of Kit Gilbert, Annie Weinstein Richardson, and M. Douglas Walton — three beloved artists whose creativity and passion deeply enriched the art community in Lincoln Parish and beyond. Through this special show, Century Next Bank invites the community to remember their impact and celebrate the lasting connections they inspired through art.
Each artist brought a unique voice to their practice: Annie’s layered mixed-media collages evoked intimate journeys through texture and tone; Doug’s expansive, expressive paintings captured the unseen energy and spirit of life; and Kit’s innovative abstract language bridged memories, nature, and modern existence through bold forms and materials. Together, their work celebrates the power of art to inspire and connect. This exhibition honors not only their remarkable art but also the incredible people they were.
The public reception on December 2 will offer guests the opportunity to view the exhibition, reflect on the artists’ enduring contributions, and enjoy refreshments in the spirit of community and creativity. The exhibition will remain on display through January 5 during regular business hours.
Since 2000, the Century Next Bank Main Office has proudly hosted its annual December Art Show and Open House, featuring talented artists from across the region. The tradition reflects the bank’s ongoing commitment to supporting and celebrating the arts in North Louisiana.
