The weather is perfect and creativity in booming!

We have gallery shows in both our East Bank Gallery and Virginia Cook Gallery right here at the Louisiana Boardwalk hanging for just two weeks longer. Both Spirited: Art of the Cocktail and Turn Up the Heat will come down November 1st just in time for our next show Toyland Forever - Opening Reception and Art Gallery Show at Bossier Arts Council. We are still accepting pieces for this open call show.

Our Create It Forward craft at Bossier Arts Council - BAC this week is all about coloring your very own spooky-cute Halloween puzzle. Come get creative, piece together a little fun, and take home your masterpiece! It's FREE, it's fun, and it's just one more reason to come hang out with us at BAC!

Don't forget to head downtown and soak up even MORE creativity with Louisiana Film Prize / Prize Fest festivities, celebrating some incredible filmmaking talent, AND the final weekend of Red River Revel , where so many of our favorite local artists have booths filled with their amazing work! From the big screen to beautiful handmade creations, there's no shortage of art to experience, artists to support, and fun to be had right here in our community!

From paintings and pottery to film, music, and everything in between, our little corner of Louisiana is absolutely bursting with creativity this weekend! There is sooooo much talent right here in our own backyard, and I hope you'll get out, explore, and show some love to the artists who make our community such a colorful place to call home! 💙💚🧡

Calling all makers, creators, and crafty elves:

The holidays are right around the corner, and we're looking to add some NEW local talent to the Bossier Arts Council Gift Shop!

From pottery and jewelry to ornaments, artwork, home decor, and everything in between, we're looking for unique, handcrafted goodies to fill our shelves just in time for holiday shopping!

•All items must be handcrafted. No mass-produced merchandise, please!

•Gift shop vendors must be a current member of BAC.

•All vendors work under a consignment agreement with a 70/30 split (70% to the artist, 30% to BAC).

We're looking for creative, giftable items that will make holiday shoppers say, "Oh, I HAVE to get that!"

This is a wonderful opportunity to get your creations in front of new customers, support local arts, and spread a little handmade holiday cheer!

Interested in joining our merry little lineup? Please email [email protected] including photos of your work and pricing with "Potential Gift Shop Vendor" in the subject line.

Let's fill those stockings, support local makers, and make this holiday season a little more ARTful 💚💙🧡

Could everyone please join me in wishing a huge Happy Birthday to our Executive Director AmberDawn Landrum 🎉 she does a fantastic job keeping Bossier Arts Council - BAC running amongst the chaos (and on very little sleep 😂) and still manages to look amazing and always with a smile on her face. We hope you have an amazing day 💕

Did you know we have FREE creative activities EVERY WEEK at the Bossier Arts Council in thanks to a Sparks Grant provided by Sams Club Bossier City?!

Because we believe creativity should be for EVERYONE, and sometimes all it takes is a paper plate, a few markers, and a little imagination to make someone's day!

And speaking of making our day… ALMOST 200 OF YOU came through our doors this weekend to shop our Gift Shop, explore our galleries, and support local artists! 🥹❤️

I cannot tell you how much that means to us! Every visit, every purchase, and every little smiling face reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

So THANK YOU for showing up for the arts in our community! And if you haven't stopped by yet, what are you waiting for?!

Come see us at 355 Boardwalk Blvd every Tiesday through Saturday. There's always something creative happening at BAC! ❤️

We have had so many incredible groups in already today enjoying the galleries, making tambor-beans, shopping our gift shop, and more. All that's missing is you! We've been waiting so long for you to show up, we're practically SKELETONS over here! 💀😂

It is such a beautiful day at the Louisiana Boardwalk for the Maker's Fair happening NOW until 6 and we're here doing arts and crafts until 7!

Come shop local makers, support local artists, and give this guy a reason to get out of his chair!
