MT. BETHEL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

This church was another new NAP site in the summer of 2022. The LSU Museum of Art led art activities to participants of all ages.

NAP brings aesthetics, peacefulness, and creativity that contributes to overall wellness. Art brings hope by exposing our children and youth to art and provides opportunities to express their creativity and imagination in realms far beyond their daily lives.

Dr. Murelle Harrison Executive Director at Gardere Initiative

LSU Museum of Art partnered with the Gardere Initiative to organize NAP summer outreach and pop-up activities throughout the rest of the year. State of the Art: Record artist Jenelle Esparza (pictured above) joined the museum NAP team at Gardere Initiative in June, where she demonstrated weaving techniques and helped participants with their own weaving projects.
