Alex Jacob’s The Free Pages Project uses public art to provide access to banned literature and raise awareness about the importance of intellectual freedom. Through sculptural libraries created for public spaces, communities engage with books that challenge dominant narratives and offer diverse perspectives. Each library symbolizes resistance to censorship, inviting people to explore ideas being silenced in mainstream discourse. By sparking dialogue and encouraging creative engagement, The Free Pages Project aims to highlight literature and personal narratives' vital role in shaping our understanding of our country and the world. Concurrently, Chase Romero’s All But Mud & Memories addresses the inevitability of erosion through the lens of personal memories from locals and visitors of New Orleans’ neighboring parish, Algiers Point.
These two exhibitions will be on view May 10–17 with a reception scheduled for Saturday, May 17 from 6–8 p.m.

LSU College of Art & Design’s 2025 Open Experimental Studio kicks off during Free First Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. in Glassell Gallery with open make sessions, a sculpture challenge, and fifteen-minute practice talks with 2025 resident artists Nicholas Roberts and Damien Mitchell.
Designer and Assistant Professor of Industrial Design Damien Mitchell and LSU School of Art MFA ‘26 printmaker Nicholas Roberts will set up open studios in Glassell Gallery, located in the Shaw Center for the Arts, throughout the month of June. From June 1–28, the gallery will offer open studio space for visitors to design and make, scheduled workshops, and collaborative projects that will be facilitated by the artists over their month-long residency.
The gallery will feature a design and sketch station, a mend and repair station, and a cardboard construction station. Damien Mitchell will set up a mend and repair station welcoming participants to learn to creatively mend their own textiles. His tapestry will invite collaborative interventions and welcome found materials to support his own 3D-printed and handcrafted footwear designs. Nicholas Roberts will mine memory and domestic spaces inviting the community to collaboratively construct a life size cardboard fort, materialize and memorialize shared spaces and structures, make zines, and print with Legos. Together, Mitchell and Roberts’ make sessions invite participants to use domestic materials to explore the poetic and industrial through soft and structural design.
Open Experimental Studio seeks not only to activate the gallery but to activate creative experimentation. It offers visitors the opportunity to experiment with artmaking, community building, and contributing their work to the space. The Open Experimental Studio values process over product, experience over outcome, and communing over consuming. It seeks to create a supportive, open space for playful material exploration through making that is open and welcoming to all.
The 2025 Open Experimental Studio is supported by the Charles Lamar Family Foundation.

LSU School of Art announces 31 artists included in 2025 Summer Contemporary: FELT opening at Glassell Gallery July 12.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana— LSU School of Art and LSU College of Art + Design is pleased to announce the thirty-one artists selected for LSU School of Art’s 2025 Summer Contemporary entitled FELT. This year’s Summer Contemporary was juried by New Orleans-based curator Emily Wilkerson from over three hundred submissions. The exhibition will open July 12 at Glassell Gallery, located in downtown Baton Rouge’s Shaw Center for the Arts. The exhibition will be on view through August 23, 2025, with a closing reception planned for Saturday, August 23, 6–8 p.m.; awards will be presented at 7:00 p.m.
Taking an expansive approach to feel, feeling, and felt, Glassell Gallery’s open call sought artists whose work addresses emotional states and embodiment, to the shifts felt when we tune into our senses. The selected work embraces the sensuous—touch, temperature, vibration, aura—and connects the haptic, emotional, and somatic. The call was extended to contemporary visual artists and culture bearers who live, work, study in–or are connected to– Louisiana. The call especially encouraged local artists and university student-artists from across the Greater Baton Rouge area to submit.
Artists selected for this summer’s exhibition are Mia Isabel Pons, Erin Demastes, Sarah Moschel Miller, Rosemary Goodell, Sheila Morissette, Rob Carpenter, Lily LaGrange, Michael Lerch, Madelyn Smith, Lorena Molina, Jaden Broussard, Kelsey Scult, Jennifer Waller, Bethany LeJeune, Whitney Johnson, Kasia Ozga, Hadi Asgharpour, Suzanna Scott, Frahn Koerner, Megan Wolfkill, Ana Jahannes, Adam Farcus, Lizz Freeman, Laura Feld, Pablo Perez-Castroman, Joey Hartmann-Dow, Jessica Moorhead-Tregre, Darlene Moore, Ashley Lewis, Ashton Howard, and Gabrielle Barnett.
In addition to the closing reception scheduled for Saturday, August 23, the gallery will host a sculpting workshop, nature connection and embodiment practice, and immersive sound experience.
