Through this series, participants receive a quality introduction to material and technique taught by professional, local artists. Limited class sizes offer an opportunity for maximum engagement through individual learning and discussion. 

Family Gallery

Kids of all ages are invited to our Family Education Gallery to participate in fun interactive activities and to explore and learn about art.


Neighborhood Arts Project

In 2012, the LSU Museum of Art developed the Neighborhood Arts Project, or NAP, a free art outreach program for under-resourced areas with a high density of children, youth and families, who do not attend summer camps or participate in afterschool or weekend programs.
