As the LSU Museum Store continues to celebrate 15 years of business in the Shaw Center for the Arts, we also celebrate 15 years of collaboration with jewelry artist Michael Schwade of Osage Metal Arts. Schwade’s unique jewelry has been an essential part of our Museum Store throughout the years.

Michael Schwade began his love of creating and designing jewelry while attending Boston’s Vesper George School of Art. There, his silver jewelry production evolved, and he found he could make a living from his art. Shortly after he met and apprenticed for Cuban sculptor, Ernesto Gonzalez in Key West, Florida. Schwade began to develop his craft of modern, sculptural and alternative jewelry. He uses a variety of metals including bronze, copper, and silver in all his one-of-a kind pieces.

The LSU Museum Store was lucky to find Michael at a Baton Rouge art festival nearly two decades ago. Schwade’s work has its own fanbase that consistently supports his jewelry and patronizes our store.

Celebrate the LSU Museum Store's 15th anniversary in the Shaw Center for the Arts by shopping and supporting all our current artists’ works. The LSU Museum Store will return to regular shopping hours beginning September
