Thompson (North Carolina), Gonzalo Fuenmayor (Florida), Felicia Greenlee (South Carolina), Masela Nkolo (Georgia), Loretta Pettway Bennett (Alabama), and Tabitha Arnold (Tennessee).
South Arts’ Southern Prize & State Fellowships for Visual Arts is supported by the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation, the Windgate Foundation, Southern First Bank, The Warner Fund, the Hambidge Center, and many generous donors.
Some of last night’s looks felt like they came straight from our collection! 🤩 The Met Gala 2026 theme, “Costume Art,” celebrates the intersection of fashion and art, so we had some fun connecting works from the LSU Museum of Art’s permanent collection to last night’s looks. Swipe through to see the pairings!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Free First Sunday: Chagall A Love Story! Visitors created butterfly masks and helped build a vibrant community flower with guest artist Chasity Joseph, all inspired by the art of Marc Chagall. Special thanks to the Art Bridges Foundation for supporting this free program. Mark your calendars for the next Free First Sunday at the LSU Museum of Art on June 7!
