Fine Art and Movies

There aren't many occasions to talk about fine art and movies in
the same sentence. And you'd be forgiven for thinking there's
even less occasion to consider the financing of movies and fine
art as having anything to do with each other. And that's why we
have lunch! So folks from what might seem to be disparate
endeavors can talk and find out they actually have something in
common.


Ann Connelly is a legend in the art world.


 


Ann is founder and owner of Ann Connelly Fine Art where
she is a curator, interior designer, and consultant to homeowners
and businesses. Over the past 25 years, Ann has grown her
business into a gallery that today carries the works of more than
40 creatives, and as a consultancy to some of the most prominent
companies and institutions in Baton Rouge, that have hired Ann to
hang art on their walls. 


 


Jillian Hall is a documentary fiim maker. She also heads up
the Baton Rouge operations of NOVAC, the oldest media arts
nonprofit organization in the Gulf South. NOVAC was started in
New Orleans in the early 1970s as a way to provide media training
and production resources to underserved communities. Since 2013,
the organization has had a presence in Baton Rouge, and in the
years since has trained hundreds of people for creative industry
jobs, developed original documentary content and created
innovative youth media programs. 


Fine art and movies might not have a lot in common in Hollywood
or Paris, but they do here in Baton Rouge.


Out to Lunch is recorded over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.
