Salida
Brodeur Art Gallery
Housed in a red-brick building in the downtown district, this contemporary art gallery displays the Impressionistic and abstract paintings of owner Paulette Brodeur. Executed in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, her work represents an eclectic variety of themes, with subjects ranging from a black horse to a purple mountain landscape, a French café, and a trailer park barbecue. In addition to traditional white walls and hardwood floors, the gallery space has quirky touches like old leather chairs, a colorful mosaic table, and the occasional sounds of Paulette practicing her saxophone.
Insider Tip:
After visiting the gallery, walk down the street to the Laughing Ladies restaurant for modern American lunch fare, such as the crispy polenta salad with goat cheese and lemon vinaigrette.
