Join us at the museum for ART BREAK!
Theme: Art as an act of SPIRIT
Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 1–4 PM • Free for teens and adults.
Join us for a watercolor activity inspired by the work of Purvis Young, a self-taught artist who painted with spiritual urgency from whatever materials he could find.
Plus enjoy live music from The Lady DeeJay! Spinning exclusively on vinyl, Lady Deejay (Leah Smith) creates one-of-a-kind sets by blending classics from the '50s, '60s, and '70s—many from her father's record collection—with modern favorites. Her eclectic mix and vintage turntables create the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon of creativity inspired by artist Purvis Young.
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.
LSU Museum of Art Folk Art Gallery Support: Six artworks in this gallery artworks were generously lent by the American Folk Art Museum, New York, as part of Art Bridges Foundation’s Partner Loan Network. Support for this program is provided by Art Bridges.
