Papillon Cafe "Autumntime"
Autumntime is the transition season between summer and winter, bringing cooler temperatures and shorter days. Embrace the golden warmth and crisp transition of the season in our upcoming exhibition, ‘Autumntime.’ This showcase features local artists interpreting the beauty of autumn. From the vibrant crimson and burnt orange of changing leaves to the quiet, earthy rusts of harvested fields and misty morning shores, explore works that capture the season. Join us in celebrating nature's most colorful finale. We are looking for falling leaves, landscapes and people enjoying the season. Animals in their autumn habitat are also welcome. This gallery does not encourage abstract art.
Papillon Quality Gourmet Coffee & Tea is located in La Fiesta Square, at 67 Lafayette Circle, Lafayette.
