Description
About Les Jeunes Artistes De Louisiane- was Founded in Nov. 2015 out of a need for young artist recognition. We have some extremely talented and inventive young folks in our communities, and their work is rarely showcased publically. I wanted to change that, and challenge the public stage to take notice of these hidden figures. So, out of that need I designed a model that would allow kids to perform on a public platform that is only matched by "professional" adult artists. I'm sure you will agree that not all grown-ups are as profound as our kids, but gain recognition for their small accomplishments in the visual arts through gallery showings and museums.
I am proud to say that the board of this organization includes- Debbie Allen, Phylicia Rashad, Patricia Price, Misty White and myself (CEO and founder)
To maintain the arts as a central and vital part of our Louisiana heritage, we must demand that the next gen. be allowed to demonstrate the significance of our culture through it. No more cuts!
