Look at Art

Art is not just for adults. First Friday in Cape Girardeau is open to all ages of art lovers. The Southeast Missouri State University's Crisp Museum, at the River Campus in Cape Girardeau, has breathtaking photographs, the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri has three shows this month, and other galleries have their own pieces to show off. The Cape Girardeau Public Library will join the art show this month with a display of art from teenagers in the area. Check the Southeast Missourian's entertainment section, SE Live, on Friday for a complete list of galleries.
