Commemorating the Life of Mobile’s Renaissance Man!

In conjunction with the 'Eugene Walter: 100 years 100 days' celebration, the Semmes Regional Library invites you to this free exhibit that is available as a self-guided tour during our regular business hours. The exhibition will showcase a kaleidoscope of Eugene's work - not only his art and designs including costume sketches related to past Mardi Gras events in Mobile, but also special memorabilia from private collections and archives chronicling his achievements.

This exhibit contains selections from the larger exhibit that was first available for viewing at West Regional, and then moved to the Ben May Main Library where we introduced the incredible life size panel painting of Eugene that was created by Lucy Gafford, Executive Director of the Mobile Arts Council. If you missed getting a selfie with Eugene at the Ben May Main Library, now you have a second chance! If you need additional information, please call (251) 494-4935 or email Ms. Williams at hwilliams@mplonline.org.
