EYE 20 GROUP ARTISTS’ STATEMENT
The Eye Twenty Group was founded in the early 1990’s by artist Doyle Jeter. The Group includes studio artists from northern Louisiana, based in Shreveport, Monroe and Ruston—all physically connected along Interstate Highway 20. It was Jeter’s concept to make the visual arts of Shreveport known in Monroe-Ruston, as well as Monroe-Ruston in Shreveport. In over ten years of exhibiting, many artists have been involved with Eye Twenty—the most notable being Clyde Connell. Differing Eye Twenty exhibitions have again and again traveled I-20 and have ventured south to Alexandria, north to El Dorado, Arkansas, and west to Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Presently, thirty-two painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramists, and printmakers make up the Eye Twenty roster. Many are self-supporting studio artists, while others are academics with faculty positions at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, Louisiana Tech University, Centenary College, and Grambling State University.
