Born and raised in southwest Louisiana, “Cajun Country,” George Rodrigue preserved on his canvas what he feared was his dying heritage — including its land, people, traditions and mythology. It was a Cajun legend, the loup-garou, that spawned his most famous series,… “The Blue Dog.”

In 1978, Arthur Roger opened his gallery on Magazine Street in New Orleans’ Garden District. Since that time, Rogers has been a major force in the New Orleans art community. See the gallery’s web page for complete details on the long and noted history of this gallery.

Since 1983, the mission of LeMieux Galleries has been to unite seasoned collectors and new art enthusiasts with artists who are committed to their vision…In 2015 long time employees Christy Wood and Jordan Blanton purchased the gallery. Since then they have widened the galleries focus on art of the Southern US and expanded their roster to include more emerging artists.

Drawing from their connections as artist and professors, and developing new ones, the directors have brought together an exceptional and varied group of national and international artists to exhibit at IBIS. Exhibitions featuring one and two-person exhibitions are regularly on view in the main gallery space, while a smaller room exhibits a sampling of artists affiliated with the gallery.

With a superior and varied selection of artistic style and technique, the gallery showcases fine paintings of the Southern Louisiana landscape as well as the street scenes and lively culture, which make New Orleans unique.
