SUSLA & GSU HOMECOMING 2020 ARTISTS REUNION
Welcome to the first ever Homecoming 2020 Artists Reunion Exhibition featuring the most talented alumni from Grambling State University and Southern University at Shreveport, LA!
Depths of Inspiration
artspace and Driftaway Float Center in Bossier City are partnering to bring a unique exhibition to the public, and allow local artists to utilize the Float Pods at Driftaway Float Center to create an original artwork from that experience, resulting in artworks that showcase both the artist’s individual experience, and the boost in creativity and other mental benefits of using the Float Pods.
quarantime: what we did during the pause
On March 15, the City of Shreveport was shut down to slow the spread of the new Covid 19 virus. Suddenly art exhibitions, art markets, performances and more came to a screeching halt. The Shreveport Regional Arts Council and artspace asked the Northwest Louisiana Roster Artists how they navigated the quarantine pause that ended on May 30. QuaranTime shows the community that Professional Artists are always working on their craft…perfecting skills no matter what is happening around them.
The Black Out Exhibition 2020
Join us as we take a look at Shreveport's Past, PRESENT, and Future history. We will explore Black visual artist's works through an unapologetic lense.
This exhibit was created to evoke thought, emotion, and action. To create local transformative change with a global impact. We are demanding to be seen without judgement and heard without retaliation. This is BLACK ART in it's rawest form.

The Shaken Foundation
Linda Moss, CM7 Winner of Critic’s Choice - Visual
What words, colors and shapes come to mind when you think of adpotion? These are the questions Critical Mass 7 Best of Show Visual Artist Linda Dickson Moss asked of 22 adoptees. From their answers came “The Shaken Foundation,” paintings meant to give a voice to the side of adoption that is often spoken over and discredited.
Spitting on Hegel
Carolyn Breedlove, CM7 Winner of Critic’s Choice - Literary
By 1977 Mina may have followed her husband to Los Angeles; may have left behind her dearest friend who’s become a stranger, married young and with a child; may have lost her beloved older brother to the uncertainty of Vietnam MIA status; but she’s still for the most part shy and naïve in her mid-twenties, still the girl who grew up in a small town in Acadian Louisiana. Writer Carolyn Breedlove presents a peek into the setting and content of her completed novel, “Spitting on Hegel”.
