1760245200 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Touring Acts, Downtown Events A Bayou State of Mind LSU Museum of Art October 12, 2025 October 12, 2025 1:00 PM 5:00 PM The LSU Museum of Art is pleased to announce A Bayou State of Mind, on view September 4, 2025. How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana. The full list of artists featured in the exhibition include: Ben Depp (photography), Johanna Warwick (photography), James Michalopoulos (painting), Nathalie Miebach (sculpture), Vitus Shell (painting), Jesse Allison (new media), Derrick Ostrenko (new media), Ron Bechet (drawing and painting), John T. Scott (printmaking), Shirley Rabé Masinter (painting), Malaika Favorite (mixed media), Carl Joe Williams (painting), Eric Waters (photography), Gene Koss (glass), Hunt Slonem (paintings), Rolland Golden (painting), Tina Freeman (photography), Carrie Mae Weems (photography), Janice Sachse (printmaking), Morgan Elmore, Jr. (painting), Robert Warrens (printmaking), Letitia Huckaby (mixed media), Jonathan Bachman (photography), Richard Misrach (photography), Debbie Fleming Caffery (photography), Dawn Dedeaux (sculpture), David Freese (photography), Thomas Neff (photography), Michael Frederic Daugherty (mixed media), Sidney Garrett (sculpture), Steve Rucker (ceramics), and George Rodrigue (painting).

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana. The full list of artists featured in the exhibition include: Ben Depp (photography), Johanna Warwick (photography), James Michalopoulos (painting), Nathalie Miebach (sculpture), Vitus Shell (painting), Jesse Allison (new media), Derrick Ostrenko (new media), Ron Bechet (drawing and painting), John T.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

About the class Want to experience our exhibitions and permanent collection in an expanded way? The museum is launching a series of workshops to connect material and process with work on display in the galleries called Material Exploration. Through this series, participants receive a quality introduction to material and technique taught by professional, local artists. Limited class sizes offer an opportunity for maximum engagement through individual learning and discussion. Thomas Mann, an icon of the American Craft Jewelry movement, a full-time practicing professional artist for over 45 years, describes himself as an artist working in the medium of jewelry and sculpture. He works with a variety of metals, thinking of them as painters think of their palettes — Each metal having its own color and luster. Inspired by parts from machines, electronic instruments, costume jewelry, and old postcards & photos, Mann’s recurring but always changing parts give his work its storytelling quality and theatricality. He calls this design vocabulary, which combines industrial aesthetics and materials with evocative themes and romantic imagery, "Techno-Romantic". Thomas Mann developed Techno.Romantic after years of experimenting with the idea of incorporating 20th-century collage and assemblage techniques into jewelry making — Attempting to humanize technology and provide raw material and inspiration for our imaginations. Thomas Mann lives and works in Uptown New Orleans where he oversees a jewelry design and production studio and gallery.

1591333200 Family Events, Arts & Theatre "MITAN MORPHIC": LSU Doctorate of Design (DDes) Thesis Exhibition LSU Museum of Art June 5, 2020 June 5, 2020 9:30 AM 5:00 PM In conjunction with LSU College of Arts + Design, the LSU Alfred C. Glassell Jr. Exhibition Gallery will display “MITAN MORPHIC: Evolution of the Contemporary Haitian Artist in Relations to Trauma” which brings together the work of 5 Haitian artists from Haiti and within the Diaspora. The exhibition, on view March 16 to March 20, 2020, highlight the reclaimed narrative of the contemporary Haitian artist’s diverse cultural production, artistic protest, religious heritage and mythologies to create a compelling portrait of a historically significant and intensely complex identity in flux. Monday, March 16, 2020 - Artist Walk & Discussion from 3:30pm - 5pm Friday, March 20, 2020 - Closing Reception from 5:30pm - 8pm Friday, March 20, 2020 - Afterparty @ Bullfish Bar+Kitchen from 8 pm - 10pm MITAN MORPHIC is a doctorate thesis exhibition presented by Petrouchka Moise, a Doctorate of Design of Cultural Preservation Scholar, showcasing artists that no longer allow the lens on the Haitian culture to be out of focus or limited in its range. Haitian artists are the visual stewards of Haiti’s cultural and political trauma trapped in binaries of power, shame, and isolation. Through the mitan-morphic process, The Haitian creative has the ability to reshape the artistic narrative. By acknowledging the impact of Vodou and Kreyol in the artistic process we can now measure how long the Haitian signature has influenced other diasporic cultures throughout history, such as Louisiana. As Haitian artists create the future landscape, we will make sure that we honor the ancestors so they know nou la, nous toujou la (we are here, we are still here). MITAN MORPHIC is contextualized through the use of augmented reality to showcase how Haitian contemporary artists see their art as a reflection of their existence and their hope in the midst of the cultural experiences that catalyzed their narratives. Mitan-morphic is defined as the simultaneous presence of multiple forms of tradition and progressive cultural beliefs and behaviors used to support an expressive response to trauma. Curated by Petrouchka Moise with special advisor Jean-Daniel Lafontant. The goal of this project is to showcase the process of Haitian art-making as one that requires a confrontation with the traumatic and dramatic history of the island and its people, using the tools of Vodou and Haitian Kreyol. The entire exhibition is depicted in the native Haitian tongue Kreyol, French and English. MITAN MORPHIC is a polyphonic collection declaring its cultural history via multiple voices. Representing one of the most vibrant and creative cultures in the Caribbean, MITAN MORPHIC is not simply a survey show, nor is it a comprehensive snapshot of contemporary Haitian art. It is an exhibition that uses indigenous belief and language as a lens through which to view the chaotic intersections of history, politics, religion, migration, magic, art, and literature— to enable the viewer to reflect upon the past and speculate about the future of this vital country.

One work featured is a self-portrait titled Two Strikes by artist Madelyn Sneed-Grays. Sneed-Grays created this work in response to rarely seeing herself in artistic spaces. “Do you know what that means when a human being has two strikes? Well, let me inform you. I am black and I am a woman. Studies show that women make up just 2% of the art market and that, “artists in 18 major U.S. museums are 85% white and 87% male.” The fact that I rarely saw myself in artistic spaces that were, and still are, predominantly white is what fueled my perfectionistic ways to make certain I represent for my culture. This is what made me realize growing up, that 100% wasn’t enough and 110% was imperative. This is what made me how I am. I am black and I am a woman.” Other works include Cada Dia

On view for the first time at LSU MOA will be works by Radcliffe Bailey, Whitfield Lovell, Madelyn Sneed-Grays, Mario Moore, and Gordon Parks, among other recently acquired works. One work featured is a self-portrait titled Two Strikes by artist Madelyn Sneed-Grays. Sneed-Grays created this work in response to rarely seeing herself in artistic spaces. “Do you know what that means when a human being has two strikes? Well, let me inform you. I am black and I am a woman. Studies show that women make up just 2% of the art market and that, “artists in 18 major U.S. museums are 85% white and 87% male.” The fact that I rarely saw myself in artistic spaces that were, and still are, predominantly white is what fueled my perfectionistic ways to make certain I represent for my culture. This is what made me realize growing up, that 100% wasn’t enough and 110% was imperative. This is what made me how I am. I am black and I am a woman.” Other works include Cada Dia

Inspired by the visiting artist tradition, The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection presents the energy and legacy of ceramics demonstrations through bisqueware. Bisque refers to the state achieved after a wet clay demo is completed and then fired once. What remains is a porous, unglazed record of the visiting artist’s creative process that can be referenced year after year by professors and students. Included in this exhibition are over 200 bisque works that provide a valued resource for LSU School of Art’s top-ten ranked ceramics program. The ever-growing collection will be displayed at LSU MOA to imitate the classroom use of the boneyard. The “boneyard” refers to bisque works and how they are stored in studio spaces for teaching and ceramics demonstrations. It's known for its unique display on high shelves in the studio, with many bisque works together, showcasing a variety of techniques, improvisation, and skill. Faculty and instructors pull bisque objects from the shelves in order to highlight specific techniques and attributes of form, only to return the bisque back to the shelf so they can grab another set of objects. This exhibition will feature rotating displays and a demonstration space that will be activated by MFA students, local artists, and visiting artists to allow museum visitors to share in the boneyard tradition—to watch clay transform and to see artist-specific techniques shared in the openness of the craft tradition. Artists featured: Andrew Martin, Kristen Kieffer, Jen Allen, Joanna Powell, Doug Peltzman, Lisa Orr, John Gill, Jeremy Brooks, Lauren Gallaspy, Kevin Snipes, Mike Jabbur, Mike Helke, Matt Mitros, Sam Chung, Matt Towers, Kim Dickey, Mary Louise Carter, Joe Bova, David Eichelberger, Matt Metz, Kensuke Yamada, Tip Toland, TJ Erdahl, Ryan Wilson Kelly, Jeremy Hatch, Jason Bige Burnett (additional artists may be added to this exhibition). This exhibition is a collaboration between LSU Museum of Art and LSU School of Art and is curated by LSU Ceramics Associate Professor Andy Shaw, LSU MOA Curator Courtney Taylor, and LSU MOA Educator Grant Benoit.

Inspired by the visiting artist tradition, The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection presents the energy and legacy of ceramics demonstrations through bisqueware. Bisque refers to the state achieved after a wet clay demo is completed and then fired once. What remains is a porous, unglazed record of the visiting artist’s creative process that can be referenced year after year by professors and students. Included in this exhibition are over 200 bisque works that provide a valued resource for LSU School of Art’s top-ten ranked ceramics program. The ever-growing collection will be displayed at LSU MOA to imitate the classroom use of the boneyard. The “boneyard” refers to bisque works and how they are stored in studio spaces for teaching and ceramics demonstrations. It's known for its unique display on high shelves in the studio, with many bisque works together, showcasing a variety of techniques, improvisation, and skill. Faculty and instructors pull bisque objects from the shelves in order to highlight specific techniques and attributes of form, only to return the bisque back to the shelf so they can grab another set of objects.

1634187600 Family Events, Arts & Theatre The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection LSU Museum of Art October 14, 2021 October 14, 2021 10:00 AM 5:00 PM LSU Museum of Art (LSU MOA) in Baton Rouge, LA is pleased to open on July 8, 2021, The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection. Inspired by the visiting artist tradition, The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection presents the energy and legacy of ceramics demonstrations through bisqueware. Bisque refers to the state achieved after a wet clay demo is completed and then fired once. What remains is a porous, unglazed record of the visiting artist’s creative process that can be referenced year after year by professors and students. Included in this exhibition are over 200 bisque works that provide a valued resource for LSU School of Art’s top-ten ranked ceramics program. The ever-growing collection will be displayed at LSU MOA to imitate the classroom use of the boneyard. The “boneyard” refers to bisque works and how they are stored in studio spaces for teaching and ceramics demonstrations. It's known for its unique display on high shelves in the studio, with many bisque works together, showcasing a variety of techniques, improvisation, and skill. Faculty and instructors pull bisque objects from the shelves in order to highlight specific techniques and attributes of form, only to return the bisque back to the shelf so they can grab another set of objects. This exhibition will feature rotating displays and a demonstration space that will be activated by MFA students, local artists, and visiting artists to allow museum visitors to share in the boneyard tradition—to watch clay transform and to see artist-specific techniques shared in the openness of the craft tradition. Artists featured: Andrew Martin, Kristen Kieffer, Jen Allen, Joanna Powell, Doug Peltzman, Lisa Orr, John Gill, Jeremy Brooks, Lauren Gallaspy, Kevin Snipes, Mike Jabbur, Mike Helke, Matt Mitros, Sam Chung, Matt Towers, Kim Dickey, Mary Louise Carter, Joe Bova, David Eichelberger, Matt Metz, Kensuke Yamada, Tip Toland, TJ Erdahl, Ryan Wilson Kelly, Jeremy Hatch, Jason Bige Burnett (additional artists may be added to this exhibition).

1677564000 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Downtown Events Lecture by Dr. Blaise Ducos of the Musée du Louvre LSU Museum of Art February 28, 2023 February 28, 2023 6:00 PM 7:30 PM The LSU Museum of Art (LSU MOA) is pleased to announce Dr. Blaise Ducos, the Chief Curator of 17th- and 18th-Century Dutch and Flemish Paintings at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, will give a free lecture on Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at 6 P.M., as part of the museum’s annual H. Parrott Bacot Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series. To honor the legacy of H. Parrott “Pat” Bacot, longtime curator of the LSU Museum of Art, LSU MOA created a Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series in 2021 to focus on Decorative Arts and to celebrate the museum’s permanent collection of decorative objects–a collection greatly indebted to the efforts of Pat Bacot. This series invites experts and artists from the decorative arts field annually to the LSU Museum of Art to share their knowledge with the public. This spring, Dr. Blaise Ducos will give a lecture at LSU MOA titled, Metal into Paint: The Many Lives of the Van Vianen Vase. The lecture will investigate this decorative object and its recurring appearance in Dutch paintings throughout history. This program will be held on the third floor of the Shaw Center for the Arts in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This lecture will be followed by a brief reception at the museum. Free to attend. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: "Metal into Paint: The Many Lives of the Van Vianen Vase" One of the most remarkable and intriguing pieces of silverware designed in 17th century Holland is the Van Vianen vase, held at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. A technical prowess and feat of inventive craftsmanship, it wields inspiration after natural forms, as well as a taste for the slightly bizarre. As such, it is above the league of well-conceived, well executed silver. It catches the eye. It breathes life and a fluid rhythm into metal manipulated as molten wax would be. It comes therefore as no surprise to see the little ewer surfacing in paintings of the time as an object of fascination: the Van Vianen Vase became a motif, even a leitmotiv in Dutch painting. But how did painters use it? This lecture will explore the many pictorial lives of this strange, alluring object. Read more here: https://www.lsumoa.org/inside-lsu-moa/ducoslecture23

Join LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow Clarke Brown, Nancy Hampton, Interim Library Director at Xavier University of Louisiana, and Dr. Gheni Platenburg, Assistant Professor of Journalism at the Auburn University School of Communication and Journalism, as they discuss the history of cultural representation in advertising through Ebony and Jet Magazine. ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? "Hank Willis Thomas / Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America" investigates race, identity, and class, with a focus on African American imagery and references in advertising, media, and popular culture. His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally-manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series "Unbranded" surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting the Black community. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of individuals in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of over forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-four artworks, organized by Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors and siblings Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Thank you to sponsors Robin Keegan & Clarke J. Gernon, Jr. for supporting this exhibition at the LSU Museum of Art. Support for this exhibition and all LSU MOA exhibitions is provided by the generous donors to the Annual Exhibition Fund.

He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. This exhibition includes over 70 pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. The museum would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, Ben Jeffers, and the Dial family. Additional support for exhibitions at the LSU Museum of Art is provided by the generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund. Thank you to sponsors Mary T.

1685509200 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Touring Acts, Downtown Events Hank Willis Thomas Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America LSU Museum of Art May 31, 2023 May 31, 2023 10:00 AM 12:00 AM American artist Hank Willis Thomas investigates race, identity, and class, with a focus on African American imagery and references in advertising, media, and popular culture. His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomas’s art is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris.

Originally curated by Paul Barrett of Birmingham, Alabama, this exhibition provides a thorough overview of work by the pivotal vernacular artist Thornton Dial. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial will be on view March 30–July 2, 2023, at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA. Dial was born in 1928 to a sharecropping family in rural Alabama. His life was interwoven with poverty and tumultuous experience, having lived in the deep South through the Great Depression, Jim Crow segregation, and the Civil Rights movement. After dropping out of school at age twelve and working a series of odd jobs, Dial found steady employment at the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama. There he honed his skills at construction and metal work, laying a foundation for his artistic endeavors. Dial began creating early-on, finding bits of odd scrap and debris, putting it together to make interesting forms that would decorate his home and yard. When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His condensed assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family. Additional support for exhibitions at the LSU Museum of Art is provided by the generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund.

1685682000 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Touring Acts, Downtown Events Hank Willis Thomas Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America LSU Museum of Art June 2, 2023 June 2, 2023 10:00 AM 12:00 AM American artist Hank Willis Thomas investigates race, identity, and class, with a focus on African American imagery and references in advertising, media, and popular culture. His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomas’s art is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris.

Originally curated by Paul Barrett of Birmingham, Alabama, this exhibition provides a thorough overview of work by the pivotal vernacular artist Thornton Dial. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial will be on view March 30–July 2, 2023, at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA. Dial was born in 1928 to a sharecropping family in rural Alabama. His life was interwoven with poverty and tumultuous experience, having lived in the deep South through the Great Depression, Jim Crow segregation, and the Civil Rights movement. After dropping out of school at age twelve and working a series of odd jobs, Dial found steady employment at the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama. There he honed his skills at construction and metal work, laying a foundation for his artistic endeavors. Dial began creating early-on, finding bits of odd scrap and debris, putting it together to make interesting forms that would decorate his home and yard. When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His condensed assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family.

His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family. Additional support for exhibitions at the LSU Museum of Art is provided by the generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund.

Originally curated by Paul Barrett of Birmingham, Alabama, this exhibition provides a thorough overview of work by the pivotal vernacular artist Thornton Dial. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial will be on view March 30–July 2, 2023, at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA. Dial was born in 1928 to a sharecropping family in rural Alabama. His life was interwoven with poverty and tumultuous experience, having lived in the deep South through the Great Depression, Jim Crow segregation, and the Civil Rights movement. After dropping out of school at age twelve and working a series of odd jobs, Dial found steady employment at the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama. There he honed his skills at construction and metal work, laying a foundation for his artistic endeavors. Dial began creating early-on, finding bits of odd scrap and debris, putting it together to make interesting forms that would decorate his home and yard. When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing.

His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomas’s art is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris.

When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His condensed assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family. Additional support for exhibitions at the LSU Museum of Art is provided by the generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund.

His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomas’s art is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris.

After dropping out of school at age twelve and working a series of odd jobs, Dial found steady employment at the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama. There he honed his skills at construction and metal work, laying a foundation for his artistic endeavors. Dial began creating early-on, finding bits of odd scrap and debris, putting it together to make interesting forms that would decorate his home and yard. When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His condensed assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family. Additional support for exhibitions at the LSU Museum of Art is provided by the generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial was originally curated by Paul Barrett, and the LSU Museum of Art exhibition is co-curated by Michelle Schulte, Senior Curator and Director of Programs at the LSU Museum of Art.

His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomas’s art is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris.

1687669200 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Touring Acts, Downtown Events Hank Willis Thomas Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America LSU Museum of Art June 25, 2023 June 25, 2023 10:00 AM 12:00 AM American artist Hank Willis Thomas investigates race, identity, and class, with a focus on African American imagery and references in advertising, media, and popular culture. His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomas’s art is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris.

Originally curated by Paul Barrett of Birmingham, Alabama, this exhibition provides a thorough overview of work by the pivotal vernacular artist Thornton Dial. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial will be on view March 30–July 2, 2023, at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA. Dial was born in 1928 to a sharecropping family in rural Alabama. His life was interwoven with poverty and tumultuous experience, having lived in the deep South through the Great Depression, Jim Crow segregation, and the Civil Rights movement. After dropping out of school at age twelve and working a series of odd jobs, Dial found steady employment at the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama. There he honed his skills at construction and metal work, laying a foundation for his artistic endeavors. Dial began creating early-on, finding bits of odd scrap and debris, putting it together to make interesting forms that would decorate his home and yard. When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His condensed assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family.

Originally curated by Paul Barrett of Birmingham, Alabama, this exhibition provides a thorough overview of work by the pivotal vernacular artist Thornton Dial. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial will be on view March 30–July 2, 2023, at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA. Dial was born in 1928 to a sharecropping family in rural Alabama. His life was interwoven with poverty and tumultuous experience, having lived in the deep South through the Great Depression, Jim Crow segregation, and the Civil Rights movement. After dropping out of school at age twelve and working a series of odd jobs, Dial found steady employment at the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama. There he honed his skills at construction and metal work, laying a foundation for his artistic endeavors. Dial began creating early-on, finding bits of odd scrap and debris, putting it together to make interesting forms that would decorate his home and yard. When the plant shut down in 1981, Dial devoted his time to creating artwork. He drew inspiration from his life experiences, blending complex themes like Civil Rights, race, class, and family into sophisticated arrangements crafted with found objects—everything from bones, wood, toys, metal, and clothing. His condensed assemblages, although compactly layered with commonplace fragments of life, move with a lightness, pulling the viewer in to explore the cracks and crevices of the varied surface. His aesthetic was not limited to sculptural constructions; Dial’s masterful drawings and paintings demonstrate his deft hand at composition and line, through the exploration of reoccurring motifs, often women and tigers, a symbol of himself, in swirling masses of shapes and color. After meeting the Atlanta-based collector William Arnett in late 1980s, Dial gained national attention, with his artwork being shown and acquired by large institutions across the United States. The artist died on January 25, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, includes over seventy pivotal drawings, sculptures, paintings, and assemblages drawn from private and family collections. We would like to thank the lenders to the exhibition, including Doug McCraw, Robert S. Taubman, Brett and Lester Levy, Jr., Jerry Siegel, the Estate of William Sidney Arnett, and the Dial family. Additional support for exhibitions at the LSU Museum of Art is provided by the generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund. I, Too, Am Thornton Dial was originally curated by Paul Barrett, and the LSU Museum of Art exhibition is co-curated by Michelle Schulte, Senior Curator and Director of Programs at the LSU Museum of Art.

His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia.

His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.

1690347600 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Touring Acts, Downtown Events Hank Willis Thomas Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America LSU Museum of Art July 26, 2023 July 26, 2023 10:00 AM 12:00 AM American artist Hank Willis Thomas investigates race, identity, and class, with a focus on African American imagery and references in advertising, media, and popular culture. His highly collected and exhibited conceptual photographs and digitally manipulated imagery comments on contemporary race relations and reveals concealed bigotry and prejudices. Thomas’s series Unbranded surveys fifty years of print advertising targeting African Americans. Drawn from advertisements published in prominent African American magazines such as Ebony and Jet, the appropriated source materials span from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, to the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Thomas strips the advertisements of text and all references to product names and slogans. The resulting images of African Americans in clearly manufactured poses and environments uncover subliminal messages of inequality and reinforce cultural stereotypes often conceived and disseminated through popular culture. This exhibit features a selection of forty images, drawn from the original series of eighty-two artworks, organized by LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, Clarke Brown. We would like to thank Alabama art collectors Becky Patterson and Doug McCraw for generously loaning the selection from their complete set. Hank Willis Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His art has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in many prestigious private and institutional collections. Thomas recently unveiled his Boston monument The Embrace, dedicated to the married Civil Rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The sculpture depicts a cropped view of the couple embracing after accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. The bronze and steel sculpture is the centerpiece of a new plaza honoring Civil Rights leaders active between 1950 and 1970. His work has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues including The International Center of Photography in New York, The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, The Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia.

A buffet style service, a potluck gathering of friends or family, and the semi-private nature of a cup of your favorite beverage; each provides a different opportunity for the development and strengthening of relationships with each other. Each space has its own language of movement and functional ceramic pieces to facilitate and bear witness to the intimacy of our interactions with each other. Concurrently, in Parts That Cannot Be Found, Amber Baggette reflects on the constancy and safety she felt growing up in Southwest Louisiana forests, which have since been destroyed by industry. Her intaglio and lithographic prints connect environmental destruction with the abuse she experienced as a child. These two exhibitions will be on view April 12–19 with a reception scheduled for Thursday April 17 from 6–8 p.m. Both artists will give a gallery talk: Froehlich will speak at 5:30 p.m. and Baggette will speak at 5:45 p.m. For more details and to see other upcoming MFA Thesis Exhibitions visit https://design.lsu.edu/news-and-events/exhibits/ Glassell Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Wednesday: 12-5 Thursday-Friday: 12-7 Saturday-Sunday: 12-5 Closed Mondays, between exhibitions, and during LSU closures.
1745470800 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Downtown Events In Focus - Artwork by LSU Faculty LSU Museum of Art April 24, 2025 April 24, 2025 10:00 AM 5:00 PM The exhibition In Focus features art by LSU tenure and tenure-track professors from the School of Art, showcasing the vast range of talent in areas such as digital technology, painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and printmaking. Their work sets the standard for students and demonstrates the University’s commitment to training the next generation of artists, providing them with the skills, vision, and understanding needed to succeed in a world of accelerating cultural and social change, innovation, and rapid globalization. The LSU College of Art & Design, which includes the School of Architecture, the School of Art, the School of Interior Design, and the Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture, has a rich history dating back to the early 1930s. The Department of Architectural Engineering was established that decade, offering a four-year curriculum. The fine arts program emerged in the 1930s within the College of Arts & Sciences, offering training in painting, sculpture, and ceramics, alongside an emerging interior design curriculum. In 1965, LSU’s School of Environmental Design was founded, uniting three programs—architecture, landscape architecture, and fine arts, with the pivotal reiteration of the College occurring in 1979, with the founding of the College of Design, later renamed the College of Art & Design. The School of Art continues to thrive as a center for innovation, artistic expression, and creative exploration. One of the largest and most comprehensive art schools in the region, the program employs dozens of accomplished professional artists, designers, and researchers, working in a wide range of media. Participating LSU professors include: Ed Smith, Kelli Scott Kelley, Johanna Warwick, Jeremiah Ariaz, Denyce Celentano, Scott Andresen, Loren Schwerd, Michaelene Walsh, Kristine Thompson, Lauren Graciela Cardenás, Andrew Shurtz, Courtney Barr, Derick Ostrenko, Leslie Koptcho, Lynne Joddrell Baggett, and Luisa Fernanda Restrepo Pérez. The exhibition also includes a special presentation of work by LSU Professor Emeritus Edward Pramuk, The XYZ Collective (Brendan Harmon, LSU Associate Professor, Hye Yeon Nam, Associate Professor, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Annicia Streete, LSU Assistant Professor, Nicholas Serrano, Assistant Professor, University of Florida), and LSU Assistant Professor-Professional Practice William Maxen.

1746248400 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Downtown Events Amber Hart - Ground Level LSU Museum of Art May 3, 2025 May 3, 2025 6:00 PM 8:00 PM It moves faster than it did a month ago, last year, and the year before that. The ‘it’ that we all recall to one another when speaking of the past and how it has moved us– time. We often measure time day by day from the light and shadows in our surroundings. Light plays a role of anticipation of what’s to come and holds weight in the way it stretches and builds upon the landscapes and what occupies them. Metaphorical figures narrate acts of fleeting memories, driven by the fear of what’s to come and reflect adornment for what is being left behind. Hart’s work is an autobiographical psychological testament that explores the act of ruminating over the relationship between time and the persistent evolution of self. This exhibition will be on view April 26–May 3 with a closing reception on Saturday, May 3 from 6–8 p.m. Amber Hart will give a gallery talk about her work Thursday, May 1 at 6 p.m. For more details and to see other upcoming MFA Thesis Exhibitions visit https://design.lsu.edu/news-and-events/exhibits/ Glassell Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Wednesday: 12-5 Thursday-Friday: 12-7 Saturday-Sunday: 12-5 Closed Mondays, between exhibitions, and during LSU closures.

1756962000 Family Events, Arts & Theatre, Touring Acts, Downtown Events LSU Museum of Art presents A Bayou State of Mind LSU Museum of Art September 4, 2025 September 4, 2025 10:00 AM 5:00 PM The LSU Museum of Art is pleased to announce A Bayou State of Mind, on view September 4, 2025. How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana. The full list of artists featured in the exhibition include: Ben Depp (photography), Johanna Warwick (photography), James Michalopoulos (painting), Nathalie Miebach (sculpture), Vitus Shell (painting), Jesse Allison (new media), Derrick Ostrenko (new media), Ron Bechet (drawing and painting), John T. Scott (printmaking), Shirley Rabé Masinter (painting), Malaika Favorite (mixed media), Carl Joe Williams (painting), Eric Waters (photography), Gene Koss (glass), Hunt Slonem (paintings), Rolland Golden (painting), Tina Freeman (photography), Carrie Mae Weems (photography), Janice Sachse (printmaking), Morgan Elmore, Jr. (painting), Robert Warrens (printmaking), Letitia Huckaby (mixed media), Jonathan Bachman (photography), Richard Misrach (photography), Debbie Fleming Caffery (photography), Dawn Dedeaux (sculpture), David Freese (photography), Thomas Neff (photography), Michael Frederic Daugherty (mixed media), Sidney Garrett (sculpture), Steve Rucker (ceramics), and George Rodrigue (painting).

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

How do you translate the spirit of your environment? The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists embody an array of cultural heritages and backgrounds, mirroring the diverse nature of Louisiana.

The exhibition A Bayou State of Mind showcases the rich tapestry of Louisiana’s culture, traditions, history, land, and essence, as a diverse mix of artists respond to and envision the state’s unique character as translated through their personal experiences and histories. From the deep-rooted perspectives of natives such as Malaika Favorite, John T. Scott, and Shirley Rabé Masinter, to the evocative impressions of those captivated during brief encounters, like Nathalie Miebach and Richard Misrach, the objects relate intimate responses to a complex environment. George Rodrigue, Watchdog, 1981–1984. Oil on canvas. Private Collection, ©George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust. A highlight of the exhibition is The Bayou Collection, a series of forty paintings by George Rodrigue (1944-2013), originally created to accompany a compilation of ghost stories by author Chris Segura. Premiered at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, Rodrigue’s imaginative renderings are steeped in his signature Cajun style. This labor of love includes the first painting of Rodrigue’s iconic “Blue Dog”—his cherished spaniel-terrier, Tiffany. Watchdog depicts the loup-garou, a mythical werewolf dog who lurks in cemeteries and sugar cane fields. The artist envisioned the creature as small and blue, with piercing yellow eyes. Using old photographs of Tiffany as the model, the painting presents the viewer with a "beast” who appears more misunderstood and approachable, rather than scary. Tiffany’s premiere in The Bayou Collection was a pivot point for Rodrigue—as the dog became the primary focus of his work from this point forward. A Bayou State of Mind represents a broad overview of contemporary presented in over 120 objects, including photography, new media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
