Vessels: A Works by Craig Watson Exhibition” formally opened at Central ARTSTATION on Crockett Street in downtown Shreveport Wednesday, March 25. The exhibition featuring the wood-turned works of Louisiana artist Craig Watson will continue through May 8, 2026. Watson uses reclaimed and salvaged wood to create his one-of-a-kind bowls and vessels that reveal the natural beauty, grain, and character hidden in each piece of timber. A large crowd turned out to welcome Watson (pictured). The exhibition is being sponsored by Watson and the Shreveport Regional Arts Council. It will be open to the public during regular business hours at 801 Crockett Street in downtown Shreveport. (Photo by Marilyn Miller)
