Tides, Time, and Terrain: Floyd Sonnier and the Evolving Cultural Landscape marks the first time in over a decade that the Hilliard presents a show dedicated to its permanent collection. This milestone exhibition pairs Sonnier’s timeless imagery with works by regional artists such as Debbie Fleming Caffery, Tina Girouard, Elemore Morgan Jr. and Sr, Francis Pavy, Keith Sonnier, James "Son Ford" Thomas, George Rodrigue, and Leo Touchet. By engaging our regional artists through a permanent collection exhibition, we honor Louisiana’s artistic legacy and foster a deeper connection between historical and contemporary perspectives. These juxtapositions create a dialogue between past and present, highlighting the ways Louisiana’s culture and traditions have both transformed and endured—a living heritage that adapts while maintaining its defining character across generations.
