Hooshang's 'Luminescence #3' in September Competition

"Luminescence #3," a set of two 36x36-inch mixed-media-on-canvas abstracts, will be part of the Alexandria (La.) Museum of Art's 23rd annual September Competition. The opening reception is tomorrow, Aug. 27, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Set to run through Oct. 2, the exhibit stems from a national competition featuring artists who work in all media. This year's juror was Kelli Scott Kelley, an associate professor of painting at Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge.

"The much-anticipated September Competition promises a strong exhibit that will intrigue and inspire the most discriminating art lover, with works by talented artists from around the country," according to a release from the museum.
