Artists

Like yeast to bread, spark to flame, the Shreveport Regional Arts Council is the catalyst for arts development in Northwest Louisiana. SRAC nurtures, produces, promotes, and services the arts; educates and provides broad and diverse community access to the arts.

SRAC serves as the official arts arm of the city of Shreveport and the state of Louisiana for Northwest Louisiana, operating by contract with both entities. SRAC staff members provide technical assistance and annually distribute $525,000 in City of Shreveport and State of Louisiana funds to arts organizations and artists.

The Shreveport Regional Arts Council was founded in 1976, as the "arts arm" for the City of Shreveport with the purpose of developing, nurturing, producing, presenting, promoting, and educating the public about all disciplines of art, while ensuring access to the arts for people who would not ordinarily receive programs and services.

The Northwest Louisiana Artists Roster is a juried group of local and regional artists in Northwest Louisiana who gather to help shape the artistic and cultural landscape of our community. Roster Artists are assumed to demonstrate work that is of the highest artistic quality and is produced in a professional manner.  Learn more about the Roster Artists...
