Our Work

Connecting people to and through the humanities

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.
