Baton Rouge, Louisiana– LSU Museum of Art's (LSU MOA) Neighborhood Arts Project, which provides free art activities in East Baton Rouge Parish under pop-up tents at sites, is returning this summer. At sites listed in the summer schedule below, LSU MOA will set up tents for families and children to stop by and create art. Visiting artists including Janelle Esparza from LSU MOA's current exhibition State of the Art: Record (on loan from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art) will also be at sites on certain dates to share their creative process and provide the opportunity to learn from and to create with professional artists. By leading community pop-ups, the LSU Museum of Art hopes to provide children and parents with arts educational resources, connect families to the museum, and to encourage art learning, creativity, and engagement this summer through the Neighborhood Arts Project.
