“Butterfly Blonde” by artist Shakor is a bold, unforgettable portrait of Dolly — a statement piece for anyone who loves her music, her spirit, and her larger-than-life legacy. Now available as a poster at Gallery Cayenne, it’s a chance to own a little piece of Dolly to keep and remember.

Then take that Dolly spirit to the streets on September 25 as we celebrate her life, music, and legacy alongside the Krewe of Dolly at the 9-2-5 Parade!

Oops… a week late, but the memories are still worth sharing! 😄📸

Last Saturday, we had an amazing time celebrating Friendship and Fellowship at Shakor’s Studio! There was plenty of laughter, great conversations, delicious food, and even better company. Sometimes the best moments happen when you’re simply enjoying the people around you.

I guess I got so caught up in life that I forgot to post these pictures—but better late than never! 😂 Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make it such a fun-filled day. We truly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to do it again!

Here’s to good friends, good vibes, and making memories that last. ❤️✨

🎨☀️ Another Great Summer Camp in the Books! ☀️🎨

Another amazing Gallery Cayenne Summer Camp with our incredible Gallery Trailblazers! ❤️

From art and creativity to games, teamwork, and plenty of laughter, our young people spent time learning, creating, exploring, and simply being kids in a space filled with culture and inspiration.

It’s always a beautiful thing to watch young minds discover their creativity and express themselves through art. We’re grateful for every child who joined us and for everyone who helped make this summer camp another memorable experience.

🌟🎨
Thank you to our amazing campers, families, instructors, and supporters for making it possible.
