Downtown Gallery Crawl
The bi-monthly Downtown Gallery Crawl was on Thursday, June 6. The Monroe-West Monroe Convention and Visitors Bureau and BayouLife Magazine partnered once again to host an annual photo contest for the 12th year in a row. The theme “Photo the Roe” was inspired by the revitalization of the downtown areas, inspiring new local organizations and the community that are committed to making the area better than it is now. Winners’ work were on display at the Palace Gallery and the winners were announced during the crawl. For the student category, first place went to Emily Hornsby, second place to Lexi Harper and third place to Dylan Jung. In the adult category, first place went to BJ Alvis, second place to Chandler Robinson and third place to Jeff Perot. The best of show winner was Janet Knott, receiving $200 and the honor of having her photo on the cover of the July issue of BayouLife.
