🎨✨ Day 1 of Spotlight Summer Intensive Visual Arts Camp is here! ✨🎨

Our young artists (grades 1–8) kicked off the week with creativity, color, and imagination in full force!

From the first brushstroke to new friendships forming, campers jumped into hands-on art-making, exploring new materials and techniques in a fun, supportive space.

Led by the visual arts educators of St. Charles Parish Public Schools, this camp is all about creativity, confidence, and self-expression.

And this is just the beginning! 🎭🖌️🌈

The Lafon Arts Center is excited to welcome Dr. Tara A. Melvin as our new Program Director.

Dr. Melvin is a soprano, educator, and arts administrator who brings a deep commitment to connecting communities through the performing arts. Her work focuses on building strong partnerships with schools and organizations, developing meaningful arts programming, and expanding understanding of opera’s history and the contributions of Black artists and composers to the art form.

She is also active as a racial justice facilitator, supporting arts organizations in creating more equitable and inclusive practices.
