For Teens & Adults Make a sculpture inspired by the work of David Butler, a self-taught artist whose cutouts and dynamic forms remind us that freedom is something we can shape with our own hands. Drop-in and create art during these programs. No experience necessary. This is a wellness-focused program for teens and adults. A docent will be stationed in the Folk Art Gallery so you can learn more about the works and artists on view.

Step into the galleries after dark for an evening of spooky storytelling inspired by the artworks on view. Let the artworks guide you as you dream up ghostly tales and eerie sketches inspired by what you see. Ages 16+ only.

Enjoy the lushness of the artwork on view in Southern Gothic: Literary Intersections with Art from The Johnson Collection. Create your own moody landscapes with oil pastels. Between 2 and 3 PM, join our Tigers in the Galleries, LSU student educators, for short tours about the exhibition.
