Enriching the lives of Louisianans, young and old
By investing in a diverse, statewide network of public programs, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities amplifies Louisiana voices and fosters access to arts, culture, education, history, and all humanities for all the people of our state.
Committed to being a vibrant voice for the humanities
Through sound stewardship and ongoing attention to community needs, we deliver and support projects that are practical and relevant. This work is done by and for all Louisianans – the people who study, explore and create and ultimately the audiences who experience these enduring programs.
Our work speaks for itself, but thrives beyond just the numbers.
